Southwest Texas Conference Scholarships
The Southwest Texas Annual Conference Board of Higher Education and Campus Ministry (BHECM) administers three scholarship programs. These scholarships are merit awards and will be given annually by the Conference Board of Higher Education and Campus Ministry. High-school seniors through college seniors are eligible to be nominated for these programs. One, in the amount of $500-1,000, is offered by the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry (GBHEM) for a student attending any recognized United Methodist-related institution. Two others, ranging from $500-1,500, are offered by the Craven-Wilson Fund for students attending either Texas Wesleyan University or Lon Morris College. The GBHEM Scholarship is based on a rebate resulting from the Annual Conference’s response to the United Methodist Student Day Offering. The Craven-Wilson Scholarships are based on interest accrued yearly for each fund of the two institutions.

BHECM Merit Award Funding
The General Board of Higher Education & Ministry scholarship is based on a rebate resulting from the Annual
Conference’s response to the United Methodist Student Day offerings. Give to the United Methodist Student
Day Offering at your local United Methodist Church and help support the brightest young stars in United
Methodism. United Methodist Student Day will be November 25, 2012.
Advance Special #2017
The Conference Board of Higher Education and Campus Ministry administers scholarships and financial aid annually on the basis of merit, including special vocational preparation for ministry, church involvement, financial need, and academic achievement.
Scholarships are awarded to undergraduates who are members of churches within the bounds of the Southwest Texas Conference and will be attending United Methodist-related colleges and universities.
The Advance Special #2017 for Higher Education Scholarships receives individual, small group and congregational gifts in any amount to apply to merit scholarships. Contributions sent through the local
church will help that congregation reach Five Star recognition.
This allows more - and more substantial - scholarships to be awarded to students of the Southwest Texas Conference. To contribute, send checks, payable "SWTC Treasurer," to
United Methodist Center
16400 Huebner Road
San Antonio TX 78248-1693.
In the memo section, mark your check "Conference Advance 2017."
BHECM Merit Awards
Awards for the GBHEM scholarship will be given only to United Methodist students who are or will be attending Institutions of Higher Education recognized as United Methodist-related by the University Senate. It shall not be required that the institution be within the bounds of the annual conference from which the award originates. Information for United Methodist-related Schools may be found at www.gbhem.org/education
Awards are for “merit," but it should be understood that merit can be in terms of Academic Scholarship, Church Involvement, Financial Need, Special Vocational Preparation for Ministry, or other service - or a combination of these factors, as may be determined by the annual conference board.
