SOS - Scholarshipping our Sisters

The General Conference Women's Ministries (GCWM) 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 in each division.
From its inception in 1991, the Women's Ministries scholarship program has given 2,461 scholarships in 132 countries amounting to more than $1 million dollars. The royalties of the women's daily devotional book series published since 1993 have supported the scholarship program. However, twenty-five years later, the book royalties alone are not enough to fund the scholarships needed each semester. Individual donations greatly help.
