College Toolkit

The College Toolkit is a free set of tools on Find Christian Schools for Christian families preparing a student for college. It is built on the transition research and checked against primary sources, and every module is free and complete, with no account needed.

• Scholarship Finder for Christians: Search real Christian scholarships by tradition, state, college, and field of study, with the actual deadline on every listing.
• Find the Church Before the Dorm: Walk your student onto campus with a church, a campus ministry, and a first two Sundays plan already in hand.
