Are PCUSA scholarships available for college students?

I'm interested in church-related scholarships and heard about PCUSA scholarships. Does anyone know if they're still available for college students, and how can I apply? Any information on eligibility would be appreciated!

Yes, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), often abbreviated as PCUSA, does offer a variety of scholarships for undergraduate students. One such scholarship is the National Presbyterian College Scholarship, which is a need-based award for first-year students who are members of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). The scholarship recipients are selected based on their academic achievement, commitment to their church, and financial need.

In order to apply for this scholarship, you would need to complete the FAFSA to establish your financial need. You would also need a recommendation from a PCUSA pastor and your high school transcript. The scholarship application is typically due in the spring, but the date can vary from year to year.

Another scholarship opportunity from PCUSA is the Samuel Robinson Award, which is given to students who memorize and recite the Shorter Catechism and submit a 2,000-word essay on a prompted topic related to Presbyterian/Reformed understanding.

Keep in mind each PCUSA scholarship opportunity has its own unique eligibility requirements. I highly recommend checking out the official PCUSA website to get the most accurate and updated information.
