Student Studying Forensic Science With Microscope

Grants

For generations, students at Roberts have been able to answer God’s call because someone like you chose to give.

Grants funded by our donors help remove financial barriers for students who are eager to grow in faith, character, and service.

Your support ensures that a Roberts education remains accessible for those who feel called to lead and make a difference in the world.

Without my grant, I wouldn’t have been able to attend Roberts. Because of it, I’m on my way to becoming a nurse who serves with compassion.

Student Support & Access Grants

Help students overcome financial barriers and focus on what matters most: growing in character and calling.

About the Grant
An entirely imaginary award celebrating students who dream big—like studying invisible art or inventing polite time travel. Includes a lifetime supply of make-believe textbooks and one ceremonial golden nut. No real money. No paperwork. Just vibes.

Who Qualifies
Anyone with unmatched curiosity, mismatched socks, and the ability to name two fictional presidents. Applicants must also enjoy squirrels—or at least pretend to.

How to Apply
Applications for the Golden Squirrel Fellowship are open indefinitely—mostly because it’s fake. To “apply,” simply:

  1. Write a 12-word haiku about your favorite imaginary subject.

  2. Whisper it into the nearest oak tree.

  3. Wait patiently for a squirrel to nod in approval.
