NMS Scholarship Distribution Guidelines


Revision; September 12, 2007 

Students wishing to receive a monetary scholarship from The New Morning Star M.B. Church must meet the following: membership; age and hours; Christian lifestyle and G.P.A. requirements.  

Membership 

You must be an active member of New Morning Star M. B. Church and in good standing at the time of application, which means that you are involved in an area of ministry and if employed, a consistent financial contributor (tithing). When school is not in session, you are expected to attend the church fellowship and functions of the ministry.

Age and Hours  

 You must be a Full-time Student graduating from high school or a GED. Students are no longer eligible to apply for more than five (5) years after their scheduled high school graduation date or after their 24th birthday. 
 


Students meeting the criterion listed in these guidelines can apply for a NMS scholarship annually until they graduate or have received the scholarship for no more than five (5) years. 

Living a Christian Lifestyle 

Students are expected to exercise good moral judgment and behavior to be eligible to receive a NMS Scholarship. Parents and students alike are expected to respectfully decline receipt of the scholarship if there is knowledge of behavior by the student that is questionable such as: sexual promiscuity (fornication), pregnancy; co-habitation without a marriage license, drug abuse, criminal activity, or any such behavior that is contrary to the clear teachings of scripture concerning Christian behavior. 

Activity that occurred prior to the draft of this document (September 12, 2007) will not be considered an offense and cause for denial of financial assistance. Hence forth, not living a Christian Lifestyle will be considered cause for denial of funds.
