Global Scholarship Fund

Young People’s Ministries created the YPM Global Scholarship Fund to financially assist United Methodist young people outside of the United States. This is a global need-based scholarship to help further education.

  • The Global Scholarship is for United Methodist students, ages 18-35, attending a university outside the United States.
  • The Global Scholarship is a one-time award with funding to be applied towards one academic year.
  • Fund awards will be at the discretion of a Scholarship Review Committee, organized from Division on Ministries with Young People members. In order to award money fairly, there will be representatives from different countries serving on the committee.
  • The amount awarded will vary based upon need and available funds.
  • If selected, an award letter will be sent to the school and the student.
  • The scholarship funds will be sent directly to the university and applied to the students’ academic expenses within the institution.
  • The announcement will be posted on Young People’s Ministries webpage with other grants and scholarships.
  • The deadline for submitting an application is March 30 for the upcoming academic year.
