Dillinger Scholarship Fund Special Offering

Sunday, Mar. 19 | 9:30 am


Cunningham UMC has four special collections each year to support church- wide causes. This Sunday we will take a special collection for the Dillinger Scholarship Fund. The scholarship is available to each high school graduate who is a member of the church and plans to attend another school beyond high school. Each graduate who has completed and turned in the scholarship application receives a check for $250 made out to the institution of higher learning they will be attending. If you are interested in supporting Cunningham's youth through the Dillinger Scholarship Fund, you can 

  • send a check to CUMC with Dillinger Fund in the memo line
  • go to our website, click give, choose the fund 'other,' and note Dillinger.


If you have questions, contact Dee Dee Kent, Chair of the Dillinger Scholarship Fund Committee.
