The Royal Brougham Foundation Scholarship exists to assist Christian young people, from the Pacific Northwest, who attend Christian educational institutions by providing grants to assist with the costs of higher education.

To be eligible, you must be planning to attend a university in the 2026–27 school year that is a member or an affiliate of the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities, and you must be a resident of the Pacific Northwest region: Washington, Idaho, or Oregon.

Factors Considered

  • Personal Christian journey as evidenced through experience and observation of others
  • Field of study – Priority given to those majoring in Christian service
  • Family situation – Priority given if parents are in full-time Christian service. Are any siblings also attending Christian schools?
  • Other grants or scholarships – What other financial assistance will they be receiving?
  • Applicants are from the Pacific Northwest region (Washington, Idaho, Oregon).

Amount of Grants

  • The award amounts vary according to the amount available and the number of qualified applicants
  • If you are selected as a grant recipient, you will be notified of the amount in your award letter.

Special Situations

  • Consideration will be given to special circumstances where needed classes cannot be obtained at Christian schools
  • Priority will be given to undergraduate students; however, graduate or seminary students can still apply.

To Apply

STEP 1: Complete and submit the online application by May 15, 2026.

STEP 2: Submit two letters of recommendation indicating your potential as a Christian leader, at least one of which must be from your church pastor. If you do not currently have a relationship with a lead pastor, we will accept this letter from someone who can speak to your spiritual formation (a Campus Chaplain, Young Life / youth group leader, or Bible teacher).

STEP 3: Submit an official, digital transcript from your most recent term of school, showing your cumulative GPA. A portal is provided in the online application.

Recommendation letters and transcripts MUST be received on or before May 15. Materials that arrive after 5PM on May 15 will not be reviewed.

If your transcript must be mailed, please send to:

Royal Brougham Scholarship Committee
19303 Fremont Ave N.
Seattle, WA 98133

Decisions will be made by the committee in mid-June and award letters will be sent out. Grant checks will be mailed directly to the educational institution. Should you decide not to attend the college listed on your application and an award has been made to you, it is your responsibility to notify the scholarship committee. This change may or may not affect your eligibility to receive the scholarship originally awarded to you.
