Cumorah Academy Scholarships are more than financial aid — they’re opportunities to unlock your potential, serve others, and prepare to lead with purpose. One of the questions we hear most from students is, “How much does it cost to study at Cumorah Academy?”
The full tuition for one session is $6,780, which includes education, housing, meals, group trips, and activities. But at Cumorah Academy, we believe no financial situation should stop a young adult from becoming a leader. That’s why we created a variety of scholarships that make studying here possible for students from all around the world.
These Cumorah Academy Scholarships are part of our mission to shape the next generation of leaders — people who are ready to make a difference in their families, workplaces, and communities.
A Mission Beyond Financial Support
Every scholarship at Cumorah Academy is more than a number. It’s a bridge — connecting passion to purpose, and ambition to opportunity.
We understand that behind every application there’s a story — a dreamer who wants to serve, a student who wants to grow, a future leader looking for a chance to make an impact. That’s why Cumorah Academy Scholarships were designed not just to cover tuition but to open doors to personal, professional, and spiritual growth.
Each scholarship invites students to take part in a life-changing experience — one that blends leadership training, service, personal development, and global connection.
During your time at Cumorah Academy, you won’t just attend classes. You’ll live in a diverse community, learn from inspiring mentors, and take part in service projects and cultural trips across Europe. These experiences shape more than your resume. They shape who you become.

Through these Cumorah Academy Scholarships, every student — no matter where they come from — can find a path to belong, to grow, and to lead.
More Than Tuition: A Journey of Growth and Contribution
Receiving a scholarship is just the beginning. Students also have the chance to take part in fundraising campaigns and campus contribution work — hands-on experiences that teach responsibility, teamwork, and gratitude.
When you work to help sustain the campus community, you gain more than financial support — you develop practical skills that will serve you for life. Whether you’re organizing events, helping in the cafeteria, or assisting the media team, every contribution strengthens your leadership character.
But you won’t be doing it alone. Each student receives training and a Fundraising Guide, designed to help them raise funds creatively and ethically — while putting into practice the values of initiative, service, and self-reliance.
This guide provides step-by-step strategies for reaching out to supporters, presenting your story, and managing resources responsibly. It’s more than a financial tool — it’s a leadership exercise that helps you grow in confidence, communication, and purpose.
At Cumorah Academy, these experiences are an extension of our mission: to create leaders who serve. You’ll learn that leadership isn’t about titles or positions — it’s about influence, integrity, and the willingness to lift others.
The Heart of Cumorah: A Global Community of Faith and Service
Students who receive Cumorah Academy Scholarships come from over 40 countries — each bringing their own stories, traditions, and perspectives. Together, they form a vibrant, multicultural community where diversity becomes a source of strength.
Classes are taught in English, but the lessons go far beyond language. You’ll learn about leadership, business, and personal development, all grounded in Christian values and the teachings of Jesus Christ. Weekly mentoring sessions connect you with experienced professionals who share real-world insights and guide you toward your goals.
This combination of faith, education, and service makes Cumorah Academy a place unlike any other — where young adults discover their potential and prepare to change the world.
Why Scholarships Matter
For many students, Cumorah Academy Scholarships represent a turning point — the difference between a dream postponed and a dream achieved.
They make education accessible to those who might otherwise never have the chance. They empower students to focus on learning, growth, and service instead of worrying about financial limitations.
And most importantly, they remind every young adult that leadership is not reserved for the privileged — it’s a responsibility and a gift that can be cultivated by anyone willing to learn and serve.
Here’s what makes Cumorah’s approach unique:
- Equity, not charity: Scholarships are based on effort, character, and need.
- Global inclusion: Students from all backgrounds and cultures are welcome.
- Personal growth: Every scholarship recipient engages in mentoring, service, and teamwork.
- Fundraising empowerment: Students may receive a Fundraising Guide to develop initiative and self-reliance.
