Scholarship Information

Last month we awarded $3,000 in church scholarships.   We want to thank each of you who contributed to the Scholarship Fund.  Without your gifts these Church Scholarship Awards would not be possible.

The Scholarship Committee wishes to provide guidance on the awarding of Church Scholarships.  Criteria for candidate applications will be:

1. Applicants are active in the life of the congregation through worship, receiving the sacraments, continuing education (Sunday School, Bible Study, Campus Ministry programs), youth events, and volunteer work.
2. Applicants are accepted or enrolled as a full time student to attend classes on a campus of a Lutheran seminary, Lutheran college, or other accredited colleges and universities.
3. Applicants are seeking a degree at one of the following levels:

•  Associate Degree

• Bachelor Degree

• Master Degree

• Ph D

4. Applicants may receive one scholarship from Trinity Lutheran church for each degree he/she is pursuing.  If an applicant is not successful in receiving a scholarship in a given year, he/she may apply the following year.

The Scholarship criteria will be published in the Tidings each month until next year’s awards are made. Scholarship applications will be available in March, with a deadline for submission on May 1st.  The decision on Scholarship Awards will be made in May. 

We appreciate the generosity of all those who have given to the Scholarship Program and ask for your continued support.  Donations to the Scholarship program should be made using the blue designated fund envelopes or a plain envelope.  Please indicate Scholarship fund on either envelope.
