Any Sunday in May
United Methodist Student Day, one of six churchwide Special Sundays, is designated to support ministries that invest in the future of our church by supporting students’ education and their journey of faith.
Education opens doors and creates opportunities for leadership, service, and faith development. By supporting United Methodist Student Day, we celebrate the power of learning and the important role education plays in developing faithful, thoughtful Christian leaders. This special Sunday reminds us that education is not only a personal achievement—it’s a ministry we share.
Why Does It Matter?
United Methodist Student Day matters because it provides scholarships that help remove barriers to higher education. By supporting this Special Sunday, we invest in students preparing for careers in ministry, service, and beyond—equipping them to lead with faith, wisdom, and compassion.
When we give on United Methodist Student Day, we’re building a stronger Church and empowering the next generation to carry forward God’s work in new and meaningful ways.
Support the Ministry
Give through your local church and write "United Methodist Student Day" on your check's memo line. Churches forward the donations through the annual conference apportionment payment process.
And encourage students in your congregation to apply for scholarships!
