Riggs Scholarship Fund

The Riggs Scholarship Fund is a fund for scholarships made available by the AG Trust through The Alliance for Assemblies of God Higher Education. The Riggs Scholarship Fund will be distributed in the following ways:

1. The General Superintendent’s National Scholarship

Two scholarships of up to $30,000 each (awarded over a 4-year period) will be awarded to one male and one female high school senior who will be attending as a full time student at an Assemblies of God endorsed institution of higher education. Ten semi-finalists will be selected; the eight not chosen for the GSNS will receive one-time $5,000 scholarships to be awarded over the first two semesters he or she is enrolled in an AG school. The General Council of the Assemblies of God appreciates the diversity of the body of Christ and does not discriminate on the basis of ethnicity, color, national origin, or age in the rewarding of scholarships.
