Scholarships Open FRIDAY DECEMBER 1

With over 100 scholarships to award in 2024, the Foundation is excited for scholarship season! Applicants can visit our website from December 1 - March 1 to apply. Just click the red APPLY NOW button and you will be taken to our third party partner's site to complete the application. This year we are partnering with Kaleidoscope, so the application platform will look different, but hopefully will be easier to fill out.

Please utilize our flyer and bulletin insert to let the students in your congregation know to apply!

We are aware of the delays affecting FAFSA forms this year. While we encourage students and parents to create their FSA IDs now (so you are ready as soon as the FAFSA site opens), we will also accept 1040 tax forms or an estimate for student aid eligibility on the application. Please visit Kaleidoscope's Help Center for other application questions, or email cassie.parks@iumf.org.

You're invited to a webinar:
