UMLS is a point-of-entry scholarship only. Applicants must be first-time undergraduate enrollees in a United Methodist-related higher education institution to be eligible for a UMLS award. Applicants must also be active members of The United Methodist Church (for at least one year) and planning to enroll full-time in the fall at a participating United Methodist-related college or university located in the Southeastern Jurisdiction of The UMC. Applicants must also be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Students may be sponsored by only one church and submit only one application.
UMHEF matching funds will be awarded to eligible applicants
until all available funds have been awarded. Eligible
applicants who do not receive matching funds from the UMHEF
will still be eligible for a $1,000 match from the educational
institution.
Upon verification of full-time enrollment in the fall, UMHEF
will transfer $2,000 to the school (church and UMHEF funds)
if the student was awarded UMHEF matching funds.
If the student was not awarded UMHEF matching
funds, UMHEF will transfer $1,000 (church funds) to the institution
upon verification of full-time enrollment in the fall.
Students should expect to receive an additional $1,000 matching
award directly from their school.
