When you give to your church's Church Matching Scholarship account, keep in mind that:
- Contributions are made to a church CMS account, not a specific student.
- A specific student name should not be written in the note or memo line.
- Your church's CMS account may distribute funds to multiple students within your church.
- Per IRS guidelines, contributions cannot be accepted from parents, grandparents, or siblings of students who are currently enrolled in our Church Matching Program.
