Greetings Fairway District Presidents,
Each year the Fairway District United Methodist Men sponsor a scholarship program for young men from churches in the Fairway District. Since 2014, the FDUMM have awarded over 50 scholarships. The total amount of scholarships awarded exceeds $32,000.
We are offering the scholarship again in 2023. The scholarship is available to any young man from a church in the Fairway District with a current chartered UMM group. Applicants must be no more than 25 years of age and must be attending a college, graduate or trade school in the 2023-24 academic year. The 2023 Scholarship Application form is here. (Applications must be submitted by July 2023.) Please make sure all the eligible young men from your church are aware of this opportunity.
The funding for the scholarship comes from two sources:
- Donations from the UMM groups in the Fairway District;
- The annual FDUMM Golf Tournament which will take place this year on Wednesday May 31 at Sanford Golf Course in Sanford. I will be sending more information on the tournament soon.
Please consider having your UMM group make a donation to the Scholarship Fund. The more money we have in the fund the higher the amounts of the scholarships that we can award. Checks for the fund should be made payable to FDUMM with a note the check is for the “2023 Scholarship Fund”. Checks should be mailed to me at 1495 Kentucky Ave. Sanford NC 27332.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Bill Huggins
FDUMM President
