In 1854, Hamline University was founded by a group of visionary Methodist ministers and educators to provide education, leadership, and service. Hamline’s affiliation with the United Methodist Church provides our students with additional scholarship and loan opportunities for those who are active members in the United Methodist Church.
Hamline University’s United Methodist Matching Scholarship Program*
Up to $1000 per year, renewable for three additional years.
Hamline will match up to $1000 of a scholarship awarded to a student from their local United Methodist Church. The scholarship check should be mailed directly to the Hamline University Financial Aid Office and identify the student recipient.
National United Methodist Church Scholarships and Loans*
Please click on the UMC General Board of Higher Education and Ministry’s website to obtain updated information on national UMC scholarships and loan options available to active United Methodist Church members. www.gbhem.org or www.umhef.org
Beginning in 2006-2007 Hamline University will match the national United Methodist Higher Education Foundation Triple Your Dollars for Scholars Scholarship contribution up to $1000.
* Only one contribution will be matched if a student has both a local United Methodist Church Scholarship and a National United Methodist Church Scholarship.
Clergy Grant
Hamline guarantees that at least 1/3 of Hamline tuition for a clergy dependent will be covered by a combination of federal, state, merit and/or need based grant dollars. Clergy grants are awarded to dependent children of United Methodist ministers who earns his/her living as an active minister.
