Current Needs

Annual Scholarship Fund

The Annual Scholarship Fund provides a vehicle for all people who love young people to make an immediate impact on current French Camp Academy students.

Gifts designated to the Annual Scholarship Fund directly augment every aspect of a student's experience on campus, from house parent and teacher salaries and library books to Christian-based programs and events.

This support also enables the Academy to accept deserving young boys and girls who wouldn't otherwise be able to attend a Christian home and school.

Another highlight of the Annual Scholarship Fund is the "hidden scholarship." Each one of our students benefits from contributions made to the Annual Scholarship Fund to help keep tuition at a bare minimum.

Transportation

We need a BIG truck, like a 3/4 to one ton pickup! Chevy or Ford - we're not picky. But we do need one in good condition with an 8 foot bed and minimum 3/4 ton.

Our Driver's Education car has seen better days! Could you help us out by donating a reliable automobile so our students can learn how to be excellent drivers?
