United Methodist Scholarships and Loans for Undergraduate Students
Office of Financial Aid
In 1854, Hamline University was founded by a group of visionary Methodist ministers and educators to provide education, leadership, and service. Hamline’s affiliation with the United Methodist Church provides our students with additional scholarship and loan opportunities for those who are active members in the United Methodist Church.
Clergy Grant
Hamline guarantees that at least a third of the tuition for a clergy dependent will be covered by funds from Hamline University. Dependent children of United Methodist ministers who earns his/her living as an active minister are eligible for clergy grants.
Hamline University’s United Methodist Matching Scholarship Program
Up to $1,000 per year, renewable for three additional years
Hamline will match up to $1,000 of a student's local United Methodist Church scholarship. The scholarship check should be mailed directly to the Hamline University Financial Aid Office, and the student recipient should be identified.
If a student has both a local United Methodist Church Scholarship and a National United Methodist Church Scholarship, only one contribution will be matched.
