The purpose of this foundation and scholarship is not our own—it is a continuation of Zane’s vision: that every child would have the opportunity to reach the “top of the hill.” For Zane, the top of the hill meant Heaven.

We believe a Christ-centered education equips students for their journey through life with faith, purpose, and a strong foundation. Through this scholarship, we aim to support as many families as possible by helping make a quality Christian education more affordable and accessible.
