Sky Ranch Scholarship Essays

It’s time to apply for a scholarship to Sky Ranch Christian Summer Camp! The Sue Gove Family (of Star Creek Ranch in Thorndale) will donate up to 30 camp scholarships to local youth this year. These scholarships cover the cost of the week-long camp at the Sky Ranch location in Van, TX. This marks 20+ years of generosity by the Gove Family with scholarships to students at St. Paul and Thorndale ISD, and sadly, this will be the final year the scholarship is offered. 

FIRST STEP: Kinder-Grade 8 students may apply for a scholarship by submitting an essay to the school office by Friday, November 8.  Elementary students should handwrite their essays. Students in Grades 6-8 may type theirs if they wish

Essay Topic: “The Bible teaches us about training for the Christian life. Describe how you train. Describe how you can train better. Describe your goals as a believer.”

Due Date: Submit to the school office by November 8. No exceptions can be made for late entries. 

NEXT STEP: Essays submitted by the deadline will then be attached to an official scholarship application, and returned to the student. Parents will complete the official application form (attached to the essay) and return both to the office by November 15.
