Scholarships for University of Tennessee Southern Students

Scholarships for students attending UT Southern

UMHEF offers scholarships for United Methodist students attending the University of Tennessee Southern.

Historically, UMHEF has housed funds to support Martin Methodist College students. Due to this longstanding relationship, the Foundation has designated funds to provide financial support to University of Tennessee Southern students who are members of The United Methodist Church.

Please Note: UT Southern is not a partnering school with our United Methodist Dollars for Scholars program and students attending UTS will not be eligible for that award.

Eligibility Criteria

Below is the criteria for scholarships for United Methodist students attending UT Southern. Awards are not guaranteed and funds are limited.

  • Be a full member of The United Methodist Church for at least one year
  • Enrolled at or planning to enroll at the University of Tennessee Southern
  • Other criteria may apply, but UMHEF will match you with the award for which you qualify.

How to Apply

This program is not currently accepting applications. If you submitted an application for the 2025-2026 academic year, notifications about your award status will be sent mid-June.
