Scholarships

What is the difference between a job and a vocation?  What should I do with my life?  How can I best use my gifts?  Who can serve as my mentor as I search for a meaningful life?  How can I integrate my sense of spirituality into my daily life?  Do I have what it takes to minister others?  We hope the following scholarship opportunities will help you to wrestle with these vocational questions.

Wesley Service Scholars - Wesley Service Scholars supports students who are involved in volunteer service. If you are already volunteering in a service agency (a school, sports program, non-profit agency, church, etc.) and would like to do some reflection with other students about your service, then the Wesley Service Scholar program is for you! If you are not currently volunteering but would like to, we can provide a list of potential service sites. We offer a $500 stipend through your financial aid account in exchange for:

  • 80 hours of verified service (~40 each semester)
  • Selected common readings regarding service
  • Your participation in a peer group to reflect on your experiences
  • A simple journal in which you write about your service.
