How do scholarships work?
Scholarship funds are available up to $200 per registration. All requests will be evaluated after March 10. If funds are not available to cover all scholarship requests, we will email to let you know the remaining balance.
 
What if I need to request more than $200 in scholarship funds?
Please use the link above to register for Challenge and request a scholarship greater than $200. Pay what you are able and write any notes in the form.

Why aren’t spots guaranteed after January 29?
Because thousands of high school students from all over the US attend the Challenge conference, there is a high demand for hotel rooms, especially those that are within walking distance from the convention center. We have been asked not to reserve more hotel space than our total church registration requires out of courtesy for other Challenge guests. We will drop extra hotel reservations after this date, which means that we may not have space for more students.

What is the refund policy?
Since space is limited, if a payment is made and there is not space for the student to attend the conference, then we will refund the payment.
