Kavanaugh UMC assists deserving high school seniors to further their education by providing annual scholarships. These grants are sustained through the Kavanaugh Scholarship Fund and through the generosity of the individuals or, in the case of memorial scholarships, the families of Kavanaugh members whose names they bear.

Scholarship applications are sent to all county and area high schools each April. Counselors are encouraged to make applications available to students.

All applicants must:

• Maintain a minimum grade average of “C”
• Carry at least 12 hours of course study each semester (or full-time enrollment for their school)
• Need financial assistance to attend college
