Scholarship Applications

Before You Begin

• Prior to beginning the on-line scholarship application, READ THIS PAGE. After reading these instructions click the blue "NEXT" arrow button at the bottom of this page to proceed to the application. DO NOT SKIP THIS PAGE. It may be helpful to use the “Printer Friendly Page” link on the right to print this page for use as a reference while completing the on-line application.
• After reading this page and clicking “NEXT” you will be directed to the on-line application. Please create a username and password using a valid email address that you check frequently as this will be the way we communicate with you throughout the scholarship process.
• If you have changed your name or address since previously applying with us, PLEASE email that correction to umscholar@gbhem.org.

Completing the Application

• Take a moment to review the individual scholarship guidelines from this website and select the ONE scholarship program for which you wish to apply. If you are unsure which scholarship to apply for, choose the “General Scholarship” program and the scholarship office will determine the best program for you.
• Each applicant may apply ONCE per YEAR for a scholarship, and ONCE per TERM for a loan. After you make your selection for a scholarship or loan you will be directed to the first page of the application.
• The application consists of SIX pages that must be completed prior to submission. Once you have completed all six pages please review your information and correct any errors. If you do not follow this step, you will be unable to submit the application.
• Appearing in the application are steps which require you to locate your current church and the school with whom you are enrolled for the fall term. Be prepared to locate these organizations by state and city.
• To avoid errors on the application answer all questions that apply to you. You may save the application throughout the entry process. This will allow you to gather additional information and return to complete the application at a later date.
• Once the on-line portion of the scholarship application is submitted, you will receive an email confirmation within 1 business day that it has been received.

After Submission

• The confirmation email you receive will include a link to the additional items needed to complete your scholarship application. Your application is not complete until you have submitted ALL required items in addition to the on-line application.
