Deadline for applications for the Immanuel UCC-Detroit Scholarship is April 15th. This application can be downloaded here.
It was the desire of Immanuel United Church of Christ - Detroit, as it was disbanding, to award scholarships for seminary students preparing for Ordination and Service in the United Church of Christ. Scholarship funds are available through an endowment fund provided by Immanuel United Church of Christ - Detroit bya resolution adopted at a Special Congregational Meeting held on November 14, 1999. The fund is disbursed in accordance with the policies and practices of the Michigan Conference of the United Church of Christ. The Spiritual Discernment Mission Area Team (SDMAT) currently is responsible for selecting recipients and has set April 15th as the annual deadline, beginning immediately (2010). Scholarships will be awarded at the June meeting of the SDMAT so that payments to students' seminaries may be given at the beginning of Fall semesters.
To qualify an applicant must meet the following criteria:
*Be a member of a United Church of Christ congregation with the Michigan Conference
*Be listed as a Member in Discernment of one of the Associations of the Michigan Conference
