BUMC ScholarshipGeneral InformationPhilosophyThe Brentwood United Methodist Church has a strong interest in supporting education and has established this scholarship program to achieve several desirable objectives. This program provides deserving students with financial aid for higher education. It is designed to encourage students to demonstrate our love, and to provide an ongoing spirit of giving to our church family. EligibilityTwo types of students are eligible to apply for the awards.

One of the scholarships will be awarded to a college senior who plans on graduate work. At least three of the scholarships will be awarded to high school seniors. The scholarships will be applied to tuition, fees, books, and supplies required for course load at any accredited, nonprofit college or university in the United States. Winner SelectionA Selection Committee who has no connection with Brentwood United Methodist Church will evaluate the applications and select the winners. The selection of winners will be based on a combination of the applicants’ academic records, standardized test results, extracurricular activities, and recommendations.
