Places to look for funding if you are relating to the United Methodist Church
Please note that some denominational resources require attainment of specific milestones in terms of candidacy; many sources for UMC students require that you have attained the status of Certified Candidate. If you find sources that need to be added or removed, notify Tom Barlow. Don't forget to also check out the Miscellaneous page!
Important: There are online sites that scam students by charging fees to search for scholarships and grants. In some instances, sites even charge students for access to the FAFSA application. Don't be fooled! You should never have to pay for filing these applications!Start Here
