Endowed and Non-Endowed Scholarships

Union University administers other privately endowed and non-endowed scholarships. Most are designed for students preparing for specific vocations. Awards are made from these funds by comparing a student’s eligibility and need to scholarship guidelines. In the case of Church Endowed Funds, students whose names are submitted by their church are awarded these funds. No additional application is required. Recipients will be notified if awarded endowed scholarships.
