Scholarship Program


Banner-scholarship

TPCG began its scholarship program in 1998 as the church celebrated fifteen years of ministry in the City of Paterson. The vision of Host Pastor, Dr. Clarence J. Baker, is to encourage the development of our youth with an incentive for the pursuit of higher education. As an advocate of education and empowerment of our youth, we believe you will be excited about an opportunity to assist the TPCG Scholarship Program to expand on its vision to award more scholarships to deserving students in our community.

Program Overview

The TPCG Scholarship Program is designed to provide needed financial assistance to student members of the congregation and those living in and around the Paterson community. The Scholarship Committee will seek candidates who have demonstrated excellence in academic achievement and/or have displayed strong academic prowess despite financial challenges. In addition, candidates will possess a high measure of character, strong leadership potential and demonstrating a commitment to community service.
