Get Involved with IOKDS
We believe higher education empowers young adults to move the world forward. To ease the financial burden of college/university tuition, we award $1000 scholarships to students studying at an accredited college, university, or seminary. Annual donations, endowments, and fundraising activities fund each scholarship category.
