Scholarship Program
Fairfield Glade United Methodist Church
We welcome your interest in the Fairfield Glade UMC Scholarship Awards and request that you review the qualifications
set forth below.

DEFINITION
A yearly scholarship award or awards will be made by the Scholarship Committee and under the auspices of the Fairfield
Glade United Methodist Church. The selection of the recipient is not limited to first year applications, and we encourage
successful applicants to apply for succeeding year awards, if they still meet the stated qualifications.

SCHOLARSHIP AWARD
The scholarship award monies will be sent to the institution for credit toward tuition, supplies, books, institution fees and
for dormitory charges on campus. No monies will be given to the individual. If the scholarship grant exceeds the total first
quarter or semester charges by the institution, then the unused portion of the scholarship grant will be returned to the
Scholarship Fund or applied to the following quarters or semesters at the
discretion of the Scholarship Committee.

SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT QUALIFICATIONS
The scholarship recipient or recipients will be chosen from candidates who have made suitable applications and possess
certain qualifications and attributes. It is generally intended that these scholarships be granted to those in Cumberland
County who demonstrate a desire to improve and expand their education even though their limited financial resources
make fulfillment of that desire difficult. The qualifications for recipients of scholarship funds are:

    equivalency.

    2009.

    latest transcript if currently enrolled in a post-secondary program.
