Members of Duke Memorial UMC who attend college (any major) or graduate school (in preparation for ministry or missionary work) are invited to apply for a Duke Memorial scholarship. One of our church’s Legacy Funds provides small scholarships based on church membership, demonstrated Christian character, and financial need, with preference given to undergraduate students. Applications are accepted throughout June, reviewed in July, and awarded in August.

Supportive Church Initiative for LGBTQ Seminarians

The purpose of the Supportive Church Initiative (SCI) is to empower, encourage, financially support, and celebrate LGBTQ seminarians who are called to church ministry and who participate in the congregational life of Duke Memorial UMC as affiliate, associate*, or full members. As a congregation we welcome persons from all backgrounds and identities. We also recognize that LGBTQ seminarians encounter unique challenges and questions regarding their denominational identity and calling. This is particularly true in the United Methodist Church, where self-avowed and practicing gays and lesbians are barred from ordination as elders and deacons.
​
SCI is open to enrolled seminary students. The number of students supported each year is dependent upon available funding and the needs of the particular seminarian. Each student will receive $1000 in scholarship funds, applied directly to their tuition. Opportunities for nurture, care, and empowerment are based upon the needs of the seminarian. SCI lasts for one year with the possibility of renewal.
