Print an application

The Eastern PA Conference has TWO DISTINCT scholarship programs. You are welcome to apply for both if you meet the qualifications for the scholarships.

The Eastern Pennsylvania Conference awards scholarships annually to United Methodist undergraduate college and university students who have been members of an Eastern PA Conference church for at least two years. Scholarships are funded by annual conference offerings and other donations made to support higher education opportunities for member students. For first-time applicants deadlines are March 1 (for fall semester) and October 1 (for spring semester) every year. Applicants must be full-time, taking 12 credit hours or more, and they must have a minimum 2.5 cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA).
