Doors to Learning

GIFT OF HOPE SCHOLAR THANKS UNITED METHODISTS ON STUDENT DAY.

 

“I love bringing a smile to someone’s day,” says Todd Sega, a Gift of Hope scholar from Edinboro, Pa. That – plus a drive to ensure the best for the people he serves – will come in handy as this pharmacy student prepares for his career. He hopes to earn a Doctor of Pharmacy degree from Ohio Northern University in 2011. Grateful for generous gifts to the United Methodist Student Day offering, Todd thinks frequently about the importance of faith in his life. “When I left for school, thinking about my church family and the scholarship I received, I felt fully embraced and supported by The United Methodist Church. As a result, I am motivated to achieve my personal best.”

UNITED METHODIST STUDENT DAY AWARDS SCHOLARSHIPS AND LOANS TO PEOPLE ACROSS THE UNITED STATES – MAYBE EVEN SOMEONE YOU KNOW.

Like many things, college costs continue to rise. Thanks to United Methodist Student Day, people in your annual conference – perhaps even members of your family—have a chance to attain higher education. Students attending United Methodist and other accredited colleges and universities receive scholarships and loans. Participating annual conferences receive 10 percent of the offering for merit-scholarship awards to students of their choosing.

A RICH HISTORY OF EDUCATING UNITED METHODISTS.
This Special Sunday had its beginnings in 1866, when a special fund provided for advanced education of Sunday-school children and of candidates for the ministry and missionary service.
