Millsaps
College has established a limited number of new Methodist Youth
Scholarships, ranging from $1,000 to $3,000 per year for four years,
for United Methodist students who demonstrate church leadership,
community service and financial need. These scholarships are in
addition to the Bishops Scholarship, ministerial scholarships, and
grants given to dependents of United Methodist ministers.
"We
have established these new scholarships to emphasize just how much
we want our Mississippi Methodist students at Millsaps," President
Frances Lucas said. "As a United Methodist College, we know
that our United Methodist students will receive the best education
possible plus the added value of a campus community committed to
Wesleyan principles.
Three
commitments of Wesleyan theology are most evident at Millsaps. First
and foremost is the commitment to intellectual growth and academic
freedom; second, the connection of the life of the mind with the
habits of the heart; and third, Wesley's commitment to serve the
least, the lost and the last.
"At
Millsaps, we are committed to helping our students not only master
specific discipline areas but also to find their own spiritual voice,"
President Lucas said.
She
emphasized the value of a small, church-related college where United
Methodist students are encouraged to ask "Who am I?" and
"Whose am I?" and where their relationship with the United
Methodist Church will enrich their lives as servant leaders in their
communities.
Applications
for the new scholarships are available in the Office of Admissions
and can be found at the Millsaps web site, www.millsaps.edu/scholarships.
The application should be accompanied by a resume outlining honors,
activities, organizations and leadership positions held. Review
of scholarship applications will begin December 1, and will continue until the
financial aid priority deadline of March 1.
