INFORMATION ON THE LWML SCHOLARSHIPS
Prayerfully given Mites from members of the Florida-Georgia LWML are designated for specific projects by action of the LWML in convention. One of these projects is Scholarships. The LWML seeks to enable qualified and dedicated men and women to train for service to the Lord as full-time church workers through these scholarships.
1. The Scholarship Funds are administered by the Scholarship Committee appointed by the LWML Executive Board and are granted to students preparing for full-time church work in Missouri Synod schools and churches.
2. Applicants must have been a member of a congregation of the FL-GA, SELC or English District of the LCMS in the states of Florida or Georgia for the eighteen(18) months prior to filing an application, and be enrolled full-time in a rostered church worker program.
3. Scholarships ranging from $500 to $2000 each will be awarded for the school year 2012 - 2013 depending on maintenance of GPA, and will be given in two installments, half at the beginning and half at mid-point of the school year.
4. Applications for an LWML Scholarship must be made on the form provided, completed and in the hands of the committee chairman by the deadline of June 1, 2012.
5. The Scholarship Committee shall process all applications received by the chairman and select the recipients. A GPA of 3.0 is necessary to qualify for a scholarship and financial need must be shown. However, love gifts also are awarded to those who have under a 3.0 GPA.
6. Students who are qualified and desire a scholarship another year must reapply each year. Only one scholarship per family per year will be awarded.
7. Contact the scholarship chairman for further information. Additional applications are available from the FL/GA District April 1, 2012.
In fairness and courtesy, recipients should notify the committee chairman of any intention to withdraw from school. In accepting an LWML Scholarship, should a recipient leave the Lutheran Church or not accept placement within the synodical system, he/she agrees to be obligated to repay all scholarship money received. Thank you.
