GIFTS THAT LAST FOREVER Walton Family Scholarship If life has taught me anything, it is not to tell God that I’m “not going to do” something. I learned this lesson early on when I was applying to universities after graduating high school. I felt sure that I was “not” going to apply to Crandall University. When the final decision was made, not only had I applied and been accepted to Crandall, but I had turned down a full tuition scholarship from another university in order to attend. Looking back now, I’m so glad God changed the plans that I may have thought I had. The people I met at Crandall, as well as the faculty and staff that I became friends with influenced me greatly. There was no such thing as a “free ride” just because it was a Christian institution. You worked for what you got. Standards were high, morals and values were encouraged, and people became like a family.
in this way…why would I not? Recognizing that we are living in a time when education costs continue to rise and smaller universities such as Crandall are often affected, there seemed no better time to set up this scholarship. Will it help people fund their education? Yes. However, it will invest in the shaping of lives as well. As a former Crandall University student who benefited greatly from the generosity of others, I now want other students to have the same option. Maybe you too had the same experience as I had. You do not have to fund the whole scholarship at once, it can be done over time. Consider it. Think of the blessing you are providing to someone else and in turn you will be blessed. Rev. Daniel Walton CAF Chaplain, CFB Shilo, MB
Due to the quality of education I received, the bursaries awarded to me, and the mentors I gained for my life and ministry, Crandall became a very special place in my life. Having such life shaping experiences at the institution and recognizing that Crandall is a private university that does not receive operational funds from the government both inspired me to want to make a difference at Crandall and help provide a pathway for future students to come and hopefully share some of the experiences and memories that I hold so dear.
