Every year, General Board of Higher Education and Ministry awards an average of $5.5 million in financial aid to United Methodist students. The offering taken on United Methodist Student Day is one opportunity to support these scholarships. Every dollar received helps support and educate a new generation of principled Christian leaders for the church and the world.
There are over 70 scholarships available for undergraduate, graduate, or doctoral United Methodist students. Financial support for all General Board of Higher Education and Ministry scholarships come from five primary sources: 63% from endowments; 22% from wills and annuities; 13% from United Methodist Special Sundays and 1% from online gifts and fiduciary income. All donations received empower and encourage our students that we are investing in them and our future.
The official date set to celebrate United Methodist Student Day is Nov. 26, 2023, but we encourage churches to celebrate on a date that is most convenient for your congregation. Find more information here.
