Scholarships Available

Are you graduating from high school this year and planning to enroll in a 2-year or 4-year college?
Maybe you are graduating and have plans to enroll in a specific career school, technical school or trade
school. Or, possibly, you graduated from high school years ago, but are looking to change careers or
pursue that career that you have thought about for years and need additional education. If you are an
active member of Lower Church and fit into any of those categories then you are eligible for a
scholarship from Lower United Methodist Church or Lower United Methodist Women.
The Scholarship Committee awards scholarships to all qualified applicants each year. These scholarships
are funded from five scholarship funds- the Rachel Bridger Scholarship, the Laura McIntyre Scholarship,
the Piankatank Shores Scholarship, the Miles Scholarship and the Rosser Memorial Scholarship. Each
scholarship is renewable for up to 4 years if you meet eligibility requirements. You don’t want to miss
out on this opportunity!
Scholarship applications are available for download HERE, in the church office, or by
contacting Susan Chaney at [email protected]. All applications, along with supporting documents,
must be returned to the church office by May 1, 2026.​
