“I plan to use the skills I have learned within my leadership positions to create a warm and welcoming environment for each and every student I have. I also hope to show them love; the love that God has shown me.”

- Madison Berlau, Former Sinclair Scholarship Recipient

The Florida United Methodist Foundation is proud to offer scholarships to students looking to further their education at United Methodist Colleges/Universities, Florida College/Universities and/or seminary students seeking ordination within The Florida Conference of The United Methodist Church.

Sinclair Scholarship

The Sinclair Scholarship was established by the late Aleen and Carson Sinclair.  If you are a member of a United Methodist Church and plan to attend a United Methodist College/University or a Florida College/University, you may be eligible. Sinclair Scholarships are awarded annually on the basis of church involvement and community service and academic performance. Awards are renewable for up to three years, provided the student remains in good standing at school.

Scholarship applications are now open! Apply now through March 15.

Simmons Scholarship

The Ben & Martha Simmons Scholarship Fund was created to support the education of seminary students seeking ordination within The Florida Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church. Through The Florida United Methodist Foundation, this scholarship will support one full-time seminarian with an annual scholarship of approximately $6,000 per year, and renewable for up to four years.

The Simmons, members of Cypress Lake United Methodist Church in Ft. Myers, created this scholarship fund with a singular purpose: to make ministerial education available to more people who have been called.
