Church Matching Scholarships
Guidelines
- Any church providing a scholarship for its students may participate in the Church Matching Scholarship (CMS) program.
- Students must maintain satisfactory academic progress.
- Students must be traditional, undergraduate students and enrolled a minimum of 6 credit hours in order to receive a CMS grant from IWU.
- Matching funds cannot exceed a student's total cost.
- Students need not complete the FAFSA (the federal financial aid form) to receive funds from the CMS program.
Process
This process must be followed each year. Doing it the first year will not qualify the student for subsequent
years. Each year the church must notify IWU before June 30* of their intentions of giving another scholarship
to its student(s).
- Student petitions his or her home church.
This is ideally completed before May 31 for church scholarship funds for the next academic year. He or
she should follow the process his or her church has established to apply for church scholarship funds. If
no process has been established the student should print out the Student Application form posted on this
website, complete it, and submit it to his or her church scholarship committee or youth pastor for
consideration.
- Church notifies IWU of upcoming scholarship.
The church must notify IWU's Church Relations Office of its upcoming scholarship award prior to June 30*.
This is accomplished by the church completing the Award Application Form and submitting directly on IWU's
website, or mailing the completed form to the Church Relations Office. (IWU recommends that the student
follow up with the church in May to be sure it submits this form prior to June 30*.) Note: Each year the
church must submit another form for each returning student.
* Please note, June 30 is our preferred date for timely processing. However, we will accept and match
awards received prior to the first day of fall classes annually.
