Youngnak Presbyterian Church will once again be offering scholarships to Korean American Christian students this spring, this year up to $150,000 total.
"In 1982, Youngnak Presbyterian Church of Los Angeles established the Scholarship Program to recognize and promote Christian leadership and academic achievements among Korean-American Christian students," Youngnak stated. "The main purpose of this scholarship program is to provide support by recognizing those students who exemplify the servitude-leadership qualities of our Lord Jesus Christ and those who are committed to spreading HIS word in a meaningful and relevant way to society as a whole."
Youngnak's scholarship program offers scholarships in six different categories: the Rev. Ke Young Kim Memorial Scholarship ($5,000 each); the Anna Mission Group Scholarship ($3,000 each); seminary scholarship ($2,000 each); CYL scholarship for students with single parents; general academic scholarship; and pastor's kid scholarship. Two applicants will receive the Ke Young Kim Memorial Scholarship, which is for students at accredited theological seminaries who have served as a pastor (part-time or full-time) for a minimum of two years. Two applicants will receive the Anna Mission Scholarship, which is for female students at accredited theological seminaries.
Most of the scholarship categories require the applicant to be a baptized member of a church recognized by the Korean Presbyterian Churches in America (KPCA), or of a church "considered to believe in the doctrines similar to those of Youngnak Presbyterian Church of Los Angeles." Many also have age requirements, such as the CYL Single Parent Scholarship and the PK Scholarship, which both require the applicant to be less than 25 years of age by the application deadline.
The online application and all documents must be submitted by April 22, 2016. For more information, visit scholarship.youngnak.com.
