Church Scholarships

The Church at Clarendon offers scholarships to qualifying church members through two different programs: the Virginia Alderson Scholarship (due in June of each year) and also through a Church Scholarship program (rolling applications).

Church members who are seeking educational and vocational opportunities to advance their career and personal and professional goals are encouraged to complete the appropriate application and submit the completed application and accompanying transcript via the instructions on the applications.

The Virginia Alderson Scholarship is meant for students pursuing semester/year-long programs at colleges/universities. Scholarships are awarded on a traditional semester basis, part in August and part in December. You will find the Virginia Alderson Scholarship here.

The Church Scholarship program can be used at any time during the year for technical courses, certificates, and other education that advances personal and professional goals. You will find the application here.

Selections for both scholarships are made through the Scholarship Committee which is made up of members of our congregation. If you have questions or would like to apply, please contact [email protected], Scholarship Committee chair.
