    United Methodist Student Day, one of the six churchwide Special Sundays of The United Methodist Church, is Sunday, November 27. Money for UM scholarships and loans comes from a variety of funding sources - offerings on the designated Sunday, earnings on investments of gifts from wills and annuities, and repayments and interest on student loans.

    Support for United Methodist Student Day is crucial if we are to honor the church's commitment to educating a new generation of Christian leaders.
