A GREAT WAY TO HELP EMMA NORTON SERVICES -BECOME A PARTNER CHURCH.A Partner Church contributes $2/member to Emma Norton Services each year. We currently have eight Partner Churches. Emma Norton Scholarships Available
Each year, scholarships are awarded to deserving women who are pursuing Christian vocations. Now is the time to apply if you or someone you know is interested.
What is the amount of the scholarship?
The amount of each scholarship depends on the money available and the number of applicants. Typically, the scholarships awarded range between $450 - $1000.
Where does the scholarship money come from?
The scholarship money comes from Emma Norton herself. Concerned about the struggles of young women to obtain an education in the early 1900s, Emma Norton gave $25,000 in stocks and bonds to the Women's Home Missionary Society. Her stipulation with this generous gift in 1912 was that the money was to remain intact and that half of the interest is to be used for scholarships for women going into full-time Christian vocations. The other half of the interest is to be used for a national mission. Emma Norton Services is the recipient of the 2010 national mission award. The stock account has grown since 1912 and hundreds of scholarships have been awarded. The fund is administered by the Designated Fund Committee of the MN conference United Methodist Women.
Who is eligible to apply for an Emma Norton Scholarship?
Women with college degrees and United Methodist backgrounds who are currently enrolled in a course of study for full-time Christian vocations are eligible to apply for Emma Norton Scholarships. These scholarships are given annually. Previous applicants are eligible to apply again.
How do I apply for a scholarship?
To receive an application, contact Faye Christensen, Chair, Emma Norton Designated Fund Committee, United Methodist Women: fayechris@frontiernet.net; (218) 768-4519; P.O. Box 98, McGregor, MN 55760. Two letters of reference are required.
