The Methodist Foundation for Arkansas Seminary Scholarships aims to strengthen United Methodist churches in Arkansas by ensuring strong leadership in our local communities. These seminary scholarships enable some of our best and brightest students to answer God's call and become local church leaders as elders and deacons. Assisting these young people is important and satisfying work, and the MFA's donors have responded generously in making these scholarships possible.
To date, our 44 scholars have served in congregations, Wesley Foundations, The Methodist Foundation for Arkansas, and in Military Chaplaincy around Arkansas.
Applications are now open for the Methodist Foundation for Arkansas' 2024 Seminary Scholars program. A limited number of full-tuition scholarships are available now to Arkansas students enrolling/attending a United Methodist seminary with intentions of returning to the state upon graduation. The application period for 2024 has closed.
Scholarships are available for persons seeking Ordination as a Deacon or Elder in the Arkansas Annual Conference.
