United Methodist Dollars for Scholars Program

Each year through the United Methodist Dollars for Scholars (UMDFS) program, the United Methodist Higher Education Foundation (UMHEF) provides $1,000 matching scholarships to United Methodist students who have received a $1,000 scholarship from their local United Methodist church to help them attend a United Methodist-related college, university or seminary. 

The Finance Committee of Wayne Street United Methodist Church has established a restricted fund to receive donations so we can support students from our congregation who attend a UMC related school with a “Dollars for Scholars” scholarship.  Contributions can be made to “WSUMC” designated to “Dollars for Scholars”. 
Students interested in receiving a scholarship must fill out a Wayne Street UMC application which can be picked up at the church office.  Applications for the 2012-2013 school year will be available in January and must be turned in no later than January 29, 2012.

Students must also apply directly to the UMHEF online at www.umhef.org/receive.php   Instructions and program deadlines for submission are available at this website.

Students may receive only ONE scholarship from the Foundation per year. To be eligible, applicants must be planning to enroll as a full-time student in the fall of the coming academic year at a United Methodist-related college, university, or seminary.  The following schools are UMC related in West Ohio: Otterbein University, Ohio Wesleyan University, Ohio Northern University, Baldwin Wallace College, and University of Mount Union.  For a complete listing of UMC related schools nationwide go to www.gbhem.org
