Scholarship announcements:   

WESLEY UMC HAS TWO OPPORTUNITES AVAILABLE FOR SCHOLARSHIPS FOR OUR MEMBERS.  The funds for these scholarships come from Agape funds.   

Funds given through both scholarships are mailed directly to the school or camp the applicant is registered to attend.  There will be no exceptions to the deadline.  A copy of the applications is available in the office at the church or you can request a copy to be emailed to you. 

• Wesley UMC has Educational scholarships available for those graduating from high school or already attending college/university. You must attend at least ½ time.  Primary consideration will be given to those in the first year of post-secondary education and attending full time.

Criteria are as follows:  Applicant must be actively involved in Wesley UMC programs, must have been already accepted for admission to an accredited post-secondary education institution, and must have earned at least a 2.8 grade point average.   

Scholarship amounts will depend on the number of successful candidates and the amount available in the scholarship fund.  Scholarship recipients will be invited to come forward during worship to receive award recognition.

The forms and instructions will be available in the sanctuary on the Welcome Table (look for the blue folder) on APRIL 8, 2024, and the deadline to return the application to the office is May 31, 2024.  For more information contact Agape Committee members: Larry Sutton at [email protected] or Joliene Olson at [email protected].

 

We encourage all seeking post-secondary education scholarships to also check with WSU for two scholarships made available via former McKinley UMC.  WSU handles those scholarships and awards.  (Bublitz and Schoening)

 

• Wesley UMC has Camping scholarships available for individuals and/or families desiring to attend a summer camp this year. It is Wesley’s goal to cover half of the camp fee per individual who applies and meets the criteria, although the actual amount of assistance is based on the number of applications and the amount of funds available.

Applicants are encouraged to participate in camps sponsored by the United Methodist Church.  However, camperships will be considered for any Christian-based camping opportunity.

Scholarship recipients will be invited to come forward during worship to receive award recognition.

The forms and instructions will be available in the sanctuary on the Welcome Table (look for the blue folder) on APRIL 8, 2024, and the deadline to return the application to the office is May 31, 2024.  For more information contact Agape Committee members: Larry Sutton at [email protected] or Joliene Olson at [email protected].
