Adventist Church Scholarship

Is your dream to study at an Adventist university? Not sure how can you afford it? The North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists has a scholarship for graduate Hispanic Adventist members who meet the requirements.

The North American Division Hispanic Scholarship Fund is designed to assist with financial aid for full-time graduate and post-graduate Hispanic students who are North America Division-based, faithful Seventh-day Adventist Church members in good standing, and whose financial resources are inadequate to enable them to complete their graduate school education.

This fund is limited and disbursed on the basis of need, academic performance, and church standing. The North American Division’s Hispanic Scholarship is distributed according to the parameters established by the NAD’s working policy.

Eligibility

1.The applicant must be a Seventh-day Adventist church member in good standing.

2.The applicant must be Hispanic, North American Division-based, and a citizen or permanent resident of the United States.

3.The applicant must be an enrolled full-time student in a graduate professional school before applying for the NAD scholarship (See our programs below). Undergraduate, vocational, or students seeking a certificate program do not qualify for this scholarship.

4-The applicant must submit verification of financial need based on the information requested in the application and must be earning satisfactory grades.

5-If the applicant is married, only one family member is eligible for this scholarship assistance in a given year, except in unusual circumstances.

6- A student may receive the scholarship once per school year. The applicant must request and complete a new application and submit it for approval each year.

7-A student who is a member of a Seventh-day Adventist Hispanic Church that belongs to a Regional Conference needs to apply to the Regional Scholarship.

Instructions

1- Complete and sign the application.

2-Ask your school registrar to verify your cumulative grade point average (GPA) and confirm that you are a full-time student taking a minimum of hours as required per school year.

3-Request the stipulated signatures from your local conference Hispanic coordinator/director or your local union Hispanic coordinator/director must sign the application form. If you do not know who that person is, ask your Hispanic church pastor. The Hispanic coordinator/director will discuss with you your eligibility and will sign the application.
