Beginning fall 2006, Grace College, Winona Lake, Indiana, will offer to new students an unlimited number of 412 Commission Scholarships ranging from $4,000 to $12,000 ($1,000 to $3,000 per year) to all 412 Commission graduates with a least a 3.0 cumulative GPA or unmet financial need as determined by the FAFSA.
These scholarships are in addition to other Grace College merit-based scholarships and are renewable based on academic good standing at the end of each academic year.
