Missed our College Prep Workshop? We've got you covered! 🎓

This past Saturday, families walked through what it really takes to plan for college. We pulled together a few of the biggest takeaways so every family can benefit, whether you were in the room or not.

Swipe through for 4 tips worth saving 👉

1️⃣ Start with the end in mind: career → major → college
2️⃣ Look beyond tuition and plan for the full cost of attendance
3️⃣ Don't let the sticker price scare you. Most students receive grant aid!
4️⃣ Every scholarship adds up

And that last tip is where we come in. 💙 Idlewild Foundation Scholarship applications for Spring 2027 are open through October 31 at 5:00 PM.

We often think about generosity in terms of what we give. But perhaps it begins with a different question:

What has God placed in my hands that I can use to bless someone else?

Our time. Our abilities. Our resources. Our encouragement. Our willingness to simply say, “Here I am.”

Generosity may look different in each of our lives, but every act of faithful giving has the opportunity to become part of something greater than ourselves.

Today, we invite you to pause and reflect:

What has God placed in your hands? And how might He be calling you to use it? 💙
