To maintain the integrity of the program while upholding the purpose of the Arkansas Conference Mission u, the following guidelines have been adopted for the coming year. You may download a copy of the guidelines by clicking here.
FAILURE TO ABIDE BY SCHOLARSHIP GUIDELINES MAY PREVENT PERSONS FROM BEING CONSIDERED AS FUTURE SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS. PLEASE KEEP THIS INFORMATION AND FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES CAREFULLY.
All applications MUST be filled out completely, including a paragraph explaining why the scholarship is needed on the back of the form or submitted digitally with your online application. (Parents of young children may assist in this requirement.)
Electronic (e-mail) applications will be accepted. Paper applications MUST be mailed to the Arkansas Conference Scholarship Coordinator and postmarked by the deadline date to be considered for a scholarship. Emailed applications must be sent by the same deadline. NO EXCEPTIONS!
Priorities for scholarships include: first time attendees, racial minority, persons with disabilities, women under the age of 35, first time local United Women in Faith officers, and persons with critical financial needs.
Any one church may not receive more than five scholarships for persons who are members/attendees of that church. If more than five persons from any one church apply and funds are available after filling all other scholarship requests additional scholarships may be considered for that church.
Children and youth MUST have a parent or another adult attending the school who will ALWAYS be responsible for them while on campus.
Persons receiving scholarships are expected to attend all classes, plenaries, and other scheduled activities during the Arkansas Conference Mission u.
Scholarships cover tuition, room and meals, but no books or other materials needed for the classes. Textbooks may be purchased from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/s?k=%22uwfaith%22) prior to the school. No books will be sold at Mission u. Local units may choose to help with the purchase of textbooks.
Scholarships DO NOT cover transportation costs to the Arkansas Conference Mission u.
Elizabeth Thornburg Workman (ETW) scholarships will be reserved for children and youth.
Scholarship recipients will be notified by e-mail or phone call within 10 days of the scholarship deadline. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE RECIPIENT TO COMPLETE HIS/HER REGISTRATION BEFORE THE REGISTRATION DEADLINE.
Persons receiving scholarships but finding they will be unable to attend should notify the registrar as soon as possible so those funds can be used to assist others to attend the Arkansas Conference Mission u.
