At Mt Tahoma Seventh Day Adventist Church we take great pride in being advocates of Christian education. The Education Ministry actively promotes Christian education by hosting education seminars where students of all levels are able to receive vital information on scholarships and grants. The Education Ministry also supports students who have chosen to further their education by participating in several matching scholarship programs. We strive to ensure all students from the primary levels all the way through college receive the support necessary for them to complete their education and have a chance to empower their lives.
Mt Tahoma Seventh Day Adventist church awards tuition assistance (TA) and scholarships to member students that are attending Seventh Day Adventist schools. All TA & scholarship awards are based on the eligibility of each applicant and the availability of funds at the time an application is received. As we prepare to assist families for the upcoming school year, students & their families must complete, and submit the following forms that are applicable to their needs.

Grant Opportunity:
Established in 1995-96, the Elizabeth Wesley Youth Merit Incentive Award Program honors Mrs. Wesley who was a strong supporter of African-American youth education and achievement. This successful community and volunteer based Program focuses on improving retention rates and incentivizing academic performance and individual achievement. This is accomplished by recognizing and celebrating academic performance, community involvement and good citizenship at home, in the community, and at school. Since its inception the Program has successfully provided over 3,500 incentive awards of $350 each to African-American achievers in 9th, 10th and 11th grades across seven public school districts including Bethel, Clover Park, Franklin Pierce, Puyallup, Steilacoom, Tacoma and University Place. Founding community partner organizations include Tacoma Branch NAACP, Tacoma Ministerial Alliance, Tacoma-Pierce County Black Collective, Tacoma Urban League Guild, Tacoma Urban League, and Tacoma Masonic Hall.
Since its inception the Elizabeth Wesley Program has invested over $1.5 million in incentive awards and scholarships in support of college and career goals, and tomorrow’s African American leaders.
