Scholarship Spotlight: United Methodist Scholarships

scholarships

There is a scholarship (or many scholarships) out there for everyone. Every student has some skill, interest, experience, or characteristic that may make them an attractive candidate for one scholarship or another. And while we often refer to scholarships as “free money,” scholarships don’t actually come for free. It takes work to thoughtfully consider your strengths and research the scholarships that might be most appropriate for you. While the effort that goes into finding and winning scholarships may be akin to a part-time job, we at College Coach want to make your job a little easier. This on-going scholarship series highlights a new scholarship each week. Check out the below, along with the other posts in the series, and you may discover a funding resource that will make covering that college bill a little (or a lot!) easier.

There are many scholarship opportunities offered through the United Methodist Church. As the church’s website states, “Higher education is a significant part of our United Methodist heritage, our present task, and our future responsibility.” Students who are active members of the church should spend some time on this site reviewing all of the available resources.

The Davidson Fellows Scholarship is a real win for college students who have a proven track record both inside and outside of the classroom. Successful applicants must demonstrate “significant work” in their chosen field. This work must be such that experts in the field recognize it as meaningful and beneficial to humanity. Forbes has called it “one of the nation’s most prestigious undergraduate scholarships,” so the competition is high—as is the award amount.

Identity-Based Scholarship Series: Scholarships for Black Students

Scholarships are a way to close the gap between the cost of attendance at a college and a family’s own resources. Among the many scholarships that students can apply for are those that are established to support students based upon the ways they define themselves. There is no comprehensive list of identity-based scholarships; professional associations, companies, non-profit entities, religious organizations, political groups, and colleges and universities are among the many sponsors of scholarships that may be awarded in part based upon a student’s race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or presence of a disability. Bright Horizons College Coach wants to help ensure that students from all backgrounds have access to the resources they need to achieve their educational goals and has therefore launched this monthly scholarship series to help students pinpoint funding opportunities based upon their unique identities. Check out the below resources, along with the other posts in the series, and you may discover funding sources that will make covering that college bill a little (or a lot!) easier.

This month, we look at scholarship resources for Black students. Note that the below list is not exhaustive, but is intended to provide a starting place for Black students to launch their scholarship searches. Your high school’s counseling office, general scholarship search sites like www.scholarships.com, and college websites can also provide useful scholarship information.
