The Roothbert Fund was established in 1958 by Albert and Toni Roothbert to support men and women in need of financial support to further their education. The main focus of The Fund is its Scholarships Program, through which it makes awards for undergraduate or graduate study at accredited colleges or universities. Scholarships may only be applied to pursue at an accredited institution based in the United States. The Fund seeks applicants who are "motivated by spiritual values," and works to foster fellowship among them.
