Young Presbyterian Scholars Program

In 2002, as Westminster College celebrated its 150th anniversary, the Board of Trustees took a serious look at the question of what it means to be a PC(USA) related college. As a result, the decision was made to offer up to 150 scholarships, worth $16,000 annually, to outstanding PC(USA) students and offer them a way to continue to grow in faith and leadership while on our campus.

The scholarships are given to all PC(USA) congregations, in essence, to award to a student of their choosing who meets the qualifications:

  • PC(USA) membership
  • 3.5 (or higher) cumulative HSGPA
  • Nomination by pastor/congregation by October 31

Scholarship Deadlines

  • October 31 - Pastor / Congregation Nomination
  • November 15 - Student Application to the college


Uniquely Westminster ... Intentionally Presbyterian ... Eternally Motivated
