Dollars for Scholars

College and seminary students from United Methodist churches in Missouri now have the opportunity for up to $4,000 in scholarships through the Dollars for Scholars program administered by the United Methodist Higher Education Foundation (UMHEF).

Missouri students selected to receive a $1,000 scholarship from their local churches, who will be attending a United Methodist-related college or seminary are eligible to receive a matching $1,000 scholarship from the UMHEF.  If the student's college is participating in the Dollars for Scholars program, he or she may qualify for another $1,000 from the school.  If the school is Central Methodist University or Saint Paul School of Theology, the student is eligible to receive another $1,000 scholarship from the Missouri United Methodist Foundation.

More information and application instructions are available by visiting the UMHEF website.

Applications must be mailed to the UMHEF between January 1 and March 1 (or June 1 for students planning to enroll in a two-year college only).
