CCB Scholars Program
Equipping Tomorrow’s Christian Business Leaders
The CCB Scholars program was established to empower our students through financial incentives and learning experiences that will prepare them as faith-driven leaders in the marketplace. This $5,000 scholarship award offers incoming students at our Dunham College of Business access to resources for their professional and spiritual development through a supportive community of business leaders and HCU staff, and the engagement of a deliberate, extra-curricula learning experience.
Immersive Learning Experiences & Exclusive Networking Opportunities

Mentoring, reciprocal learning and discipling opportunities are an integral part of this program.
