Get Involved

CHEF exists only because of the generosity of faithful Christians who believe in this cause. 

We are always looking for more churches to start a church-funded scholarship and there are plenty of ways to get involved at other levels as well!

Launching a Scholarship Program at Your Church

1

Book a Discovery Call

You (or others at your church who are interested), call book a 15-minute call to learn if starting a scholarship fund at your church is right for you.

2

Build Your Team

With support from CHEF, you’ll recruit a group of dedicated volunteers at your church to establish and manage a scholarship fund for youth in your community.

3

Get Equipped

CHEF provides expert training to your team, offering practical guidance on setting up and growing the scholarship fund. This includes tips on presenting the idea to church leadership and gaining their support.

4

Secure Funding

We’ll help your team identify funding opportunities and learn the process for awarding scholarships to deserving students, ensuring the program runs smoothly and effectively.

5

Enjoy a Memorable Meal

Join other participating churches at the National Potluck Benefit—a time to share your church’s favorite recipes, learn more about Christian higher education, and raise additional scholarship funds. Together, we’ll make higher education more accessible for students in your community.

Volunteers

The most successful church funds have the following roles:

Head Chef

The Head Chef is a dedicated volunteer who coordinates the National Potluck Benefit at their church, rallying cooks, organizing the event, and showcasing the best recipes from their congregation.

Church Champion

A Church Champion is a motivated volunteer who values Christian education and takes the lead in organizing efforts, inspiring others to get involved, and presenting the vision to church leadership for their support.

Promoter

The Promoter is an enthusiastic volunteer responsible for spreading the word about the church fund, using creative outreach and communication strategies to engage both the congregation and the surrounding community.

The Scholarship Steward is a trustworthy and detail-oriented volunteer who collaborates with the CHEF board to manage and track the receipt and distribution of scholarship funds for their church.

Scholarship Committee

The Scholarship Committee Members are thoughtful and impartial volunteers who evaluate applications and make decisions on scholarship recipients, ensuring the funds are awarded fairly and aligned with the church’s mission.
