Scholarship Program

The General Conference Women's Ministries scholarship program is established to give scholarships to women who are committed to serving the mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church who would otherwise be unable to afford a Christian education. Scholarship awards are based on academic achievement, financial need, and community outreach. Specific amounts of scholarship awards vary from year to year and are dependent on the amount of funds available. Prior to 2004 all scholarships were funded by profits from the Women's Ministries' daily devotional books for women. The first devotional book was printed in 1993 and was titled Among Friends. Since then 26 more books have been published. In 2004 we became aware of our need to raise even more funds for this program as we were turning down almost 50% of all applicants. A program was developed to raise funds that would allow more women to receive help. This new program is called "Scholarshipping Our Sisters" (SOS) and is managed by the GC Women's Ministries department. Funds are solicited from businesses, retirees, women's organizations, and other interested groups and individuals. Donations are greatly appreciated. You can support scholarships as well. Donate through your local church treasurer with the notation “Scholarship Women’s ministries EUD”. This year (2018) the EUD Women’s Ministries Department awarded scholarships to three women. Viviana Veronica Barros, Spain, is a theology student in her last year now in Sagunto Spain. Gerlinde Balan, Romania, is studying social work at Adventus University in Cernica/Rumania and started her last year. Miriam Masso, a theology student from Italy also received a scholarship. May God bless the scholarship project and the women who are supported,
