Trinity UMC Scholarship 2024

 Deadline: April 19th, 2024 

Scholarship value:  May vary 

Awards available: May Vary 

Many scholarships that indicate priority will be given to “a member of Trinity United Methodist Church.” What does this mean? Any of the scholarships indicating that the applicant must be a member of Trinity United Methodist Church refer to having received a full membership and having received a certificate of membership.

(clarifications)

-Full (professing) membership of the church involves appearing before the congregation, taking vows publicly confessing Jesus Christ as Lord while promising to serve Him and being received by the church through welcoming. When someone joins the church, they are given a Certificate of Membership.

-An infant or child baptized is considered a “preparatory member” and is not a full member.

-A baptized member who doesn’t confess Jesus Christ as Lord, publicly, in a covenant service, by the age of 18, can become a “constituent” but does not have the responsibilities or privileges of a full member.

-Simply attending worship and giving financially to the church does not make one a full member.

Application Requirements:

• The applicant has been accepted by or is attending an accredited and approved institution of higher learning.
• The applicant cannot be a recipient of more than one Trinity UMC scholarship in the same year.
• Applicants should be geographically located within the southern Maryland region.
• High school graduates and current college attendees must submit official transcripts of their grades provided by the institution guidance or academic records office.
• On an attached sheet, provide a 1-2 page essay explaining what receiving a Trinity Scholarship would mean to you. Consider providing a statement of your faith, your relationship with the church, and/or your views on God’s will for your life.
• Please carefully review the criteria for each scholarship to determine your eligibility and also for additional requirements for submission.
• All questions on the application should be answered completely and applicants are to follow the specific directions on the application form.
• No attachments such as resumes, recommendations or any other documents will be considered.
