Church Matching Scholarship
An undergraduate student who is enrolled at Trevecca full-time may be eligible for a Church Matching Scholarship, whereby Trevecca will match dollars sent to the University by the student’s home church to be credited toward that student’s account.
There are two levels within this scholarship opportunity.
- If the student’s local church is a Nazarene church on Trevecca’s Region and has paid 100% of the assigned educational budget for the assembly year closing the summer prior to enrollment — Trevecca will match 2-to-1 any amount the local church sends in for their students up to $500. A student may receive up to $500 from the local church, and TNU will add up to $1,000 to make it up to a $1,500 Church Match Scholarship.
- Trevecca will match 1-to-1 any amount the local church sends in for their students up to $500 (church sends up to $500 and TNU adds up to $500 for a total Church Match Scholarship of up to $1,000) for a student from:
- a Nazarene church on Trevecca’s Region who did not pay 100% of the assigned educational budget for the assembly year closing the summer prior to enrollment; or
- a Nazarene church not on Trevecca’s Region; or
- a non-Nazarene church
This scholarship is available once per academic year for up to four years. One-half is credited to the student's account in the Fall semester, and the other half is credited in the Spring semester.
For eligible students the local church will send a church check to the Office of Financial Aid at Trevecca identifying the student(s) to receive the funds. Trevecca will match the funds from the local church and post the combined scholarship to the student(s) account.
