AMBASSADOR ENDOWMENT
The Ambassador Endowment began in October of 2021 when an older couple gave a seed gift of $100,000 to start a fund to provide scholarships for Ambassador Baptist College students. For many years, they invited students into their home, and many of those students kept in touch after graduation to share ministry updates. They wanted to do more to encourage our students to spread the Gospel. As they put it, “We want to do our giving while we are living."
"The Ambassador Endowment began with a seed gift."
Description & Oversight
The endowment is an investment fund that is overseen by the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of Ambassador Baptist College. Every year, the committee provides an annual report of accountability to the board of directors. The fund itself is managed by a respected financial group.
Focus
The sole purpose of the endowment is to provide student scholarships for ABC students who are studying for the ministry. Student scholarships are funded by the interest earnings of the endowment.
Student scholarships are awarded by the administration of the college and are based on need and merit.
