CHURCH RELATIONS
The Presbyterian Pan American School seeks to promote the mission of our school among our Presbyterian churches throughout the United States.  We ask churches to support our Scholarship Fund that benefits deserving students from the Americas and beyond.

Partnership Opportunities for Churches
Mission opportunities are available now for churches to be in partnership with the Presbyterian Pan American School.

• Mission Work Groups from congregations are invited to perform various work projects on our campus.
• Our Grupo Folklorico, an instrumental group of students, welcomes invitations to participate in worship services and at other occasions in the life of a congregation.
• Congregations are encouraged to recommend students for admission who have a good academic background, leadership potential, and strong Christian morals.
• Alternative gift programs are available through contributions to our school in lieu of a birthday, Christmas, or special occasion gift.
• We welcome invitations to speak about P.P.A.S. in worship or at meetings of congregational groups.

SCHOLARSHIP FUND
The scholarship program provides assistance to students based on need.  This year 85% of our student body receives financial assistance to attend our school.

Gifts to the scholarship program come from the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) through the Christmas Joy Offering, churches, organizations, and friends of the school.

If you have any questions about the Scholarship Fund, please contact Barbara Chamness at (361) 595-7313.

"You shall love
the Lord your God
with all your heart,
and with all your soul,
and with all your strength,
and with all your mind;
and your neighbor
as yourself."

-Luke 10:27

An endowment is maintained in perpetuity, with a portion of the annual investment return used for purposes specified by the donor, and the rest of the investment yield returned to the principal.

• Planned Gifts
Donating a car, asset, or real estate has specific tax advantages, which include income and capital gains tax savings and increased income.

Charitable gifts made through your will are 100% deductible for estate tax purposes and a charitable bequest may place your estate in a lower estate tax bracket.
