The 5th Annual Apples of Gold Scholarship Fundraiser was held at the home at George & Erica O’Neill within the Mountain Lake Estates on December 2nd during both the lunchtime and the evening time.

Each year, Warner University awards students scholarships totaling over $6.1 million, reducing their tuition due around 35%. Some students receive federal grants and other outside scholarships–and almost all have jobs of one kind or another–but most still end up taking out loans that they will pay on for years to come. We love the fact that our community believes in our students enough, and desire them to continue their education in a caring, Christian atmosphere, that they step up and support these students financially through support of the Apples of Gold Scholarship Fund. This helps to lessen their burden.
