St. Paul's Scholarship

St. Paul’s United Methodist Church Foundation
St. Paul’s Scholarship

Number of scholarships available:   3 - 4
Scholarship Award Amount:  $450-$600

The “St. Paul’s Scholarship” is a general scholarship for study in fields other than those provided by other scholarships.  This scholarship originated from a gift to provide scholarship funds to local orphaned children from the estate of Cornelius Arnold, received in the mid-1940’s.  In subsequent years additional amounts have been added to the original gift which has provided an endowment sufficient to sustain these scholarships in this amount.  The scholarship fund remains open for acceptance of additional gifts.   
Eligibility Criteria:

• The applicant must be a member of St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
• The applicant must be pursuing a post-secondary education in an accredited college, university, community college, vocational or technical school, not including continuing education.
• Application must be made using the attached form.
• The scholarship will be awarded by the Foundation Scholarship Grant Committee, made up entirely of St. Paul’s United Methodist Church members.
• The application and all supportive documentation must be post marked no later than April 15, each year.

All applicants, recipients and those not receiving a scholarship award, will be notified no later than the last Friday in May each year.

Payment of all scholarship awards will be made to the educational institution the recipient will be attending.
