Number of Scholarships and Amounts awarded will be dependent on the funds available.  Applicants must be active members of Mt. Tabor Lutheran Church (with allowance made for attending an out-of-town school) and must be starting or continuing their post-high school education. Previous recipients of the scholarship are eligible to apply; however, priority will be given to qualified students who have not received this support in the past.
 
Application packets consist of the completed application form, a one-to-two page personal essay, a copy of the student’s most recent school-issued report card or transcript, and a letter of support by non-family members. The essay must identify the student’s educational and career goals and discuss why the student has chosen those goals. In the essay, the applicant also must discuss how the scholarship will help the student live out their vocation and be in service to others.The scholarship committee will give particular consideration to the thoughtfulness of the personal essay, the applicant’s enthusiasm and determination for reaching his or her educational goal, and the applicant’s participation in Mount Tabor congregational life, leadership, and volunteer activities.
 
The form, essay, a scanned copy of the report card, and letter of support may be submitted electronically to office@mttaborslc.org.
