South Dakota Educational Scholarships Application Deadline

The South Dakota Conference UCC values education, young people, and those who answer a call to ministry at any age. To support all those who God calls to serve in many professions for the work of ministry, we offer scholarships each year to high school seniors, undergraduates, graduate students, and seminarians active in their South Dakota UCC congregations.

Scholarships may also be available to applicants pursuing programs not offered in South Dakota institutions. Some special funds are earmarked for those who are entering into ministry as a second career and have the challenges of family, jobs, and extra travel.

All application materials, including references, must be submitted before March 15th, 2023. The amount given varies from year to year.

All applications require the following:

• General application with essay and transcript
• Pastor reference
• Educator reference

To apply:

1. Submit either the Post-Secondary Application OR the Graduate/Seminarian Application depending on what program you are entering.
2. Send the Pastor Reference Form to your pastor.
3. Send the Educator Reference Form to a teacher/professor.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call the SD Conference office at 605.338.8738 or send an email to [email protected].
