Partner Schools and Churches

Our partnerships with Christian schools and church networks are a vital part of our goal to serve as the region's hub for Christian education and culture. It's our joy to support your students in their journey toward completing a Christian college education.

An affordable Christian education

God has a plan for your life, and Malone University is excited to give you the tools you need to discover your calling and launch your career.

As you prepare for a flourishing life of kingdom service, Malone faculty and staff members will mentor and disciple you towards Christ by investing in a relationship with you. We are excited to welcome new students into our community and if you attend one of our partner schools or churches, you can receive additional scholarship funding to support your Malone education.

Our partners in Christian education

We deeply value our relationships with our partner schools and churches – some historic and long-standing, others new and ripe with potential! Partnerships are established based on factors which include proximity to Canton and size of institution, among others. All have opened up many opportunities for Malone to serve their communities and to benefit from the contributions of the students who attend their institutions.

Students from these schools and churches are already making an impact at Malone.
