Summer Ministries Scholarships Update Delete



These scholarships are available to any student who works during the summer at a Seventh-day Adventist conference-sponsored summer camp or one of the other ministries listed below and then attends Southern Adventist University during the next academic year. The Student Finance Office will verify with the student's employing organization that contractual obligations have been met over the course of the summer. A student who participates in multiple summer ministry projects is eligible to receive only one of the scholarships below. Southern Adventist University will choose the larger of the two scholarships. December graduates may request the full scholarship be applied to their account in the fall semester upon submission of approved degree audit and contract for graduation to the Student Finance Office before the end of fall semester. The amount applied is subject to a maximum aid cap.
