ExplanationThe Organization makes grants from its Scion Fund, a tuition assistance fund funded through donations, to assist Tree of Life School graduates with the continuation of their Christian education through the sixth, seventh and eighth grades at other local Christian schools. The assistance granted is based on the low-income parents agreement to pay a fixed percentage of their income toward tuition, grants provided by the other Christian school and the allocation of funds available in the Scion Fund. An independent panel supervises the allocation and distribution of funds so that non-discrimination and independence from the beneficiaries is maintained.ExplanationTxt
