Kingdom Dreamer Scholarship Foundation

Established in May 2007, the Kingdom Dreamer Scholarship Fund empowers a new generation of leaders by offering financial support and steadfast prayer. We remain deeply committed to our vision: seeing Kingdom Dreamers transform the world with God’s love.

During our inaugural year, we awarded $180,000 to 42 students. Over the past 19 years, our ministry has expanded significantly, distributing a total of $3.4 million to 1,755 recipients. Beyond financial aid, our foundation actively fosters connection and spiritual growth through ongoing prayer gatherings for alumni, structured mentorship programs, and annual fundraising events like the Sarang Golf Tournament.

The next generation represents both our inheritance and our future. We invite you to partner with us in prayer as we raise up, equip, and encourage these young leaders to carry out God's work.

From the Board Chair

For 19 years, the work of the Kingdom Dreamer Scholarship Foundation has inspired us all. On a personal level, I have been deeply touched and encouraged by your willing obedience to God and your sacrificial love.

Just as Jesus fully devoted Himself to making disciples, my prayer is that we follow His lead. I urge you to remain steadfast in nurturing the next generation of servant leaders.

Let us join in God’s powerful mission together, establishing His kingdom and serving as channels of His blessing.

Purpose

The purpose of the Kingdom Dreamer Scholarship Fund is to help students from financially difficult families from Sarang Community Church and the surrounding neighborhoods, to cultivate talent in young minds, and to support the next generation as they work towards the expansion of the Kingdom of God.

This is for the Sarang community - a community built on Jesus Christ, glorifying God, creating disciples, and fulfilling our mission of being the light and the salt of the world.

Thank you Letters

Thank you so much for this opportunity!
It is truly a blessing to receive this scholarship as it was when I was accepted to my graduate program at Columbia University.
This really means a lot for me as a student pursuing my masters in Occupational Therapy. I am very grateful and will use the scholarship to continue my education to fulfill the vision that God has given me to expand His Kingdom! I also hope that I will be able to pass on this scholarship to students in need in the future as well.

I would just like to thank you, the staff, for all the hard work that has been put in for this scholarship. I am sure that it was a long and difficult process to handpick students from thousands of applications. Thank you for putting in your time and effort to simply serve the church and the community. I just pray that you will have a blessed future with Christ. That the Holy Spirit would constantly remind you of his presence in your walk.

This letter could not fully encapsulate my gratitude toward this committee and 남가주사랑의 교회 for their generosity and heart towards young dreamers. Students today face
many challenges as we venture on our God-given paths; we wrestle with financial, mental, and also spiritual concerns every day, especially in the midst of COVID-19. When I first heard of this scholarship opportunity I prayed for the Lord’s provision, and sure enough, the Lord used this foundation to pave the way for His child to faithfully pursue the path that will bring Him the most glory.
