Give to this Fund

The Grace Education Fund Scholarship was established by Dr. A. Kasra and Mrs. Judith Ann Amirjahed in October 2017. The purpose of the Fund is to provide scholarships to graduating seniors who demonstrate significant Christian faith-based values, behavior and activities and possess a basic knowledge of and respect for the U.S. Constitution. Dr. and Mrs. Amirjahed received their educations via scholarships, family support and diligent study, and state that, “Through it all, the Grace of our God Has Been Supreme.” The Grace Education Fund Scholarships are a humble expression of their gratitude for our Creator’s Grace. According to the Grace Education Fund Mission Statement, our forefathers established our constitutional republic, distinct from a simple majority democracy, and handed the Constitution of the United States under God with liberty and justice for all to their heirs. Recipients of these scholarships should value this inheritance and be willing to dedicate themselves to learning these principles from their founding fathers and sharing them with others.
