Scholarship Program

Rocky Hill Congregational Church UCC Scholarship

​Each year, our church awards college scholarships which are funded by investment returns from the Scholarship Endowment Funds.

Applicants should be members of Rocky Hill Congregational Church, active members of one of its youth organizations, or active participants in the life of the church. Awards are based upon church and community involvement, demonstrated scholastic achievement, financial need, and the completion and submission of a scholarship application form. Scholarships may be awarded for up to four years of undergraduate studies.

Recommendations on scholarship recipients are made by the Scholarship Committee, whose members are appointed by the Church Council. This recommendation is then subject to the final approval of the Council.​

Graduating high school seniors and returning college undergraduates who are seeking a church scholarship for the coming academic year are invited to complete and return an application in the spring. Due dates will be announced in the Church Mouse, our weekly e-newsletter. Scholarship awards are announced in June. 

Scholarships awarded to graduating seniors will be presented in the applicant's school awards assembly program. Otherwise, recipients will be notified by letter. Scholarship checks will be paid to the awardee and notification of change of plans or non-attendance should be made to the committee prior to issuance of checks in mid-July and mid-December.
