Higher Education Scholarships
2024 HIGHER EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIP DEADLINE IS JULY 15.
The Synod of Mid-America has funds available for Presbyterians to use for higher education. These scholarships can be used for any accredited institution of higher learning (including trade schools and graduate study programs). Scholarships are available/awarded per school year and renewable with application annually.
Scholarships are open to active Presbyterians within the Synod of Mid-America, and whose church of membership qualified as a “small church” using the following criteria as determined by congregational membership statistics reported December 31, 2023:
in Kansas (total of 100 members or less)
in Missouri or Illinois (total of 50 members or less)
Applicants are judged on financial need, academic achievement, and involvement in the local church, school, and community. All scholarship applicants are endorsed with a letter of support from their Clerk of Session or Pastor, and complete an IRS Form W-9 to be considered for a scholarship.
