Disciples Home Missions Scholarships

Disciples Home Missions (DHM) Scholarships are administered by the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) through Disciples Home Missions. While specific eligibility criteria may vary depending on the individual scholarships offered by DHM, here are some general guidelines that are often considered:

• Denominational Affiliation: Applicants should be active members of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) or have a connection with a Disciples of Christ congregation or ministry.
• Academic Requirements: Most DHM scholarships are awarded to students pursuing higher education, such as undergraduate or graduate studies. Applicants must typically demonstrate a commitment to academic excellence and meet the minimum GPA requirement specified by each scholarship.
• Leadership and Service: DHM scholarships often prioritize individuals who have shown leadership potential and have actively served in their local congregations or Disciples-related ministries. Involvement in church activities, mission work, community service, or other volunteer initiatives is often considered.
• Financial Need: Some DHM scholarships may take financial need into consideration. Applicants may be required to submit financial information such as the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or other financial documentation.
• Specific Requirements: Certain DHM scholarships may have additional requirements or preferences. For example, scholarships may be designated for students pursuing specific fields of study, such as theology, ministry, or social justice. Other scholarships may be available for specific populations, such as racial or ethnic minorities, women, or non-traditional students.
