Cedarville Magazine, Spring 2020

Walk through the front doors of the Milner Business Administration Building, home to Cedarville’s School of Business Administration (SBA), make a right on your way to faculty offices, and you’ll see it — a familiar and motivating passage of Scripture on the wall in front of you, inscribed in large black letters like a work of art: “He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God?” Micah 6:8 is the theme verse for Cedarville’s SBA. It is also the name of the scholarship that has been awarded to 15–20 SBA students every spring since 2014. The $1,000 annual renewable scholarship assists and inspires undergraduates in all SBA disciplines to become Gospel influencers in the field of business. “We believe a Christian education is fundamental for any discipline, but especially for business students,” commented Jeff Haymond, SBA Dean and Professor of Economics. “We need to have Christians in the workforce. That’s why we’re doing what we do. We can bless them and help them with the expense of a college education; that is something good to do.” The Micah 6:8 Scholarship is awarded each spring. Last year, 20 SBA students received the award, applicable to this academic year’s tuition or other student expenses. They are chosen based on need, academic performance, leadership, internships, and ministry involvement. The name of the scholarship reflects the values that the SBA hopes each graduate will take into the marketplace. “The attributes we see exemplified in Micah 6:8 — do justly, love mercy, walk humbly with your God — are what MICAH 6:8 SCHOLARSHIP PROMOTES KINGDOM VALUES IN BUSINESS STUDENTS ADVANCING CEDARVILLE 34 | Cedarville Magazine
