The Sponsorship Assistance Fund provides assistance for students coming from international Mennonite schools or culturally diverse Mennonite students who need financial assistance in order to attend Dock. Periodically, students enroll because their families have international Mennonite connections but their families are not Mennonite. Sponsorship Assistance Fund students provide enriching diversity to our student body as they integrate into the community through involvement in academics, music, drama, sports, and other student activities.

The Urban/Philadelphia Fund provides financial assistance to qualifying students from urban areas. Dock’s vision is to attract students from urban areas with diverse ethnic backgrounds and faith perspectives in order to enrich the experience of all of our students. Urban Fund students bring valuable perspectives and experiences to our student body through chapel, classroom discussions, and relationships.

"Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world." —James 1:27
