Mission u Scholarships


Seeking Applicants 

By Linda Kotschevar 

       The Minnesota Conference of United Women in Faith provides interested women an opportunity to attend Mission u through our Mission u Scholarship Fund. Getting women interested in mission at an early age and at new life stages is one way to insure the vitality and growth of an educational, mission-minded membership.
       The Mission u Scholarship Committee is seeking women who want to attend Mission u but cannot afford the cost and encouraging them to apply for a Mission u scholarship. 
       The scholarship would cover partial or full cost of Mission u; however, the study book and transportation are not covered. The amount of the scholarship will be based on individual need, funds available, and the number of applicants. 
       Look for additional information and an application form in the Mission u Fresh Connection coming out in May. In the meantime, consider women you can encourage to attend Mission u and let them know scholarships are available.
