February 2012

We want anyone with a desire to attend to be able to. Unfortunately, we are a small mission and none of us has won the lottery, and we have to cover our costs.

Yet we firmly believe two things:

• If God intends for you to attend, He will make a way.
• Every advance comes with some type of sacrifice. Perhaps even a financial one ...

We don’t know your situation, and if you are reading this, it is likely that you find yourself wanting to go but wondering how to pay. We certainly aren't trying to sound flippant or harsh, but we truly believe that God is big enough to take care of this area for you.

So ... ask Him to.

Here is how our scholarship process works. We basically ask that you come up with at least half of the cost (based on the rate when you register) and we will attempt to cover the other half through donations we receive to our scholarship fund. We do this (as opposed to the entire amount) for two reasons:

First, our scholarship funds are very limited and we want to be able to help as many men as possible to attend. To stretch the funds as far as possible, we cover only half the cost of each scholarship recipient.

Secondly, through our experience with this scholarship fund, we have found that men need to have some "skin in the game" for this event to be as profound as it can be.

If you desire to proceed, please fill out our Scholarship Registration Information form at the bottom of this page. The information you provide will help us make scholarship decisions.

We'll take your information and pray for your for finances and pray for guidance for our decisions on our scholarship funds. Three weeks before the event, we review all the scholarship requests that we have received. Based on available scholarship funds at that time, we will decide who we will offer these funds to, based on the following criteria:

Financial Need / When you applied / Recommendation from former attendee(s)
Donated funds given for a specific individual / Guidance from God

Between now and then, take the time to raise the funds, either from your own pocket or from help that you may solicit from others. If you are able to get specific donations from others, they can either send the money to us (we will earmark it for you) or they can just deal directly with you – its your call.

When decisions are made, we will contact all the men who have requested assistance and let them know if funds are available to cover half of their fee. Scholarship recipients will then have one week to mail their half of the registration fee to ExpeditionOK.com.

If payment is not received in one week, we will offer the funds to the next man on the waiting list.

We know that it may take sacrifice for you to attend the Expedition, but trust us, it will be worth it.
