Wurffel-Sills Scholarships and Interest-free Student Loans

The application for the 2021-2022 Wurffel-Sills Scholarship & Interest-Free Student Loan Program is available now. The deadline to apply is April 1, 2021. Applicants must be a member of any Presbyterian Church within the Synod of the Northeast. The application is open to full-time undergraduate students and seminary studies leading to a Master of Divinity (MDIV) or Master of Religious Education (MRE). Part-time studies, non-credit courses, and graduate studies (other than MDIV or MRE) are not eligible to apply.

All completed applications are reviewed by a committee in the Spring. The award amounts vary based on the amount of available funds and the number of applicants applying. The committee’s goal is to offer the most assistance to as many applicants as possible with either a scholarship, an interest-free student loan, or in some cases both. All applicants will be notified when their application is received complete and of any award offered after reviewed by the committee. Incomplete applications are not reviewable.
