SCHOLARSHIPS

Young People’s Ministries currently offers two U.S. scholarships, the Richard S. Smith and the David W. Self, for United Methodist students entering their freshman year of college in the United States. This scholarship opportunity is only available to U.S. citizens and permanent residents of the United States. The purpose of these scholarships is to aid United Methodist students who are continuing their self-development through higher education. These awards are for the first year undergraduate study, are non-renewable, and may be up to $1,000 for full-time study. 

Young People’s Ministries now offers an international scholarship for United Methodist young people pursuing studies outside of the United States. The new scholarship supports non-U.S. applicants seeking financial assistance for higher education outside the U.S. The application is translated into several languages; please contact the grants administrator with questions. The amount awarded will vary.

ALL applications for the upcoming academic year are due no later than June 1st.
