I am going to Grace Bible College this fall, and sadly I am short 4 thousand dollars. I have tried loans but I get denied due to my parents and I. Is their any scholarships or grants for ministry, or scholarships or grants for students that live in a unsaved family?.. I have done TONS of research and can not get anyway! Most of the scholarships I have researched do not cover assembly of God churches, Thank you so much for you help and God bless :)

There is good reason why scholarships aren't given for those kinds of schools.
Those are for real education, not a fantasy class.
The problem with ministerial grants is that religious schools tend to not cover the basic levels of education that most colleges consider bare minimums. Because of the focus on religious truths instead of secular facts, these colleges simply won't qualify.
The best thing you can do is to ask your congregation for support, or attend a secular college and study in fields related to general religion (e.g., philosophy, psychology, anthropology, etc.). I'm sure you'll find your faith tested a lot, but if you maintain ties back home, you will come out learning more and having a faith which is stronger than ever.
