Lexington Presbyterian - Educational Grants
Lexington Presbyterian Church offers grants each year for vocational or academic educational pursuits. Preference is given to active participants in the life of our church. The grants are not limited to college, but can also be used for vocational school, graduate or professional school, or other specialized training which would further the applicant's education and assist in preparation for entrance or re-entrance into the job market.
All 2011 grant applications are due in the church office by May 1; grant recipients will be notified no later than June 1.
As the cost of all education continues to rise and the amount available to award for grants fluctuates, the Campus Ministry Subcommittee would like to encourage everyone to prayerfully consider making a gift to the Grant Fund so that future assistance to grant recipients can increase. A gift could be in memory or in honor of a loved one, possibly someone who has made a major impact in someone's education or vocation.

Grant Details
What is covered.
Grants will be awarded to assist with costs related to tuition, fees, books, equipment, uniforms, living expenses, child care and transportation. Eligible programs include college, vocational school, graduate or professional school or other specialized training to help recipients realize the goal of further education and to assist in preparation for entrance or re-entrance into the job market.
Grant size.
The size of the grant will vary each year based upon the number of qualified applicants and the amount of funds available to the committee. In most years individual grants have ranged from $200 to $500.
Deadline.
Grant recipients may reapply for continued assistance in subsequent years, but overall scholarship aid for any individual generally has not exceeded $1500 over a four year period. In any given year, funding priority will be given to qualified first-time applicants.
Deadline for grant applications will be May 1! Applications should be submitted to the office of the Lexington Presbyterian Church. Applications for assistance at other times during the year will be considered as funds are available.
Notification of the action of the awards committee to all applicants will be done in a timely manner that will be no later than June 1.
