Scholarship
Scholarship Opportunity
Trinity Methodist Church will award scholarships to high school seniors pursuing their first year of higher education. To be considered for financial support, applications must be received via email by the church office on or before April 15.
The Trinity Higher Education Scholarships are made possible through the generosity of those who donated money to this scholarship fund. Interest earned on the designated investment accounts is available for Trinity Higher Education Scholarships. To appropriately steward the money received from these donors, scholarship money will only be awarded through the application process following the criteria listed below.
To be eligible for a Trinity Higher Education Scholarship, the youth must be a member of Trinity Methodist Church or have been confirmed and/or currently eligible to seek membership at our church. The student must have a grade point average of at least 2.5 on a 4.0 scale and be enrolled or planning to enroll at a university, college or technical school during the 2025-2026 academic school year. Eligibility consideration will be granted for extenuating circumstances.
