Through an engagement with the liberal arts, Transylvania University prepares its students for a humane and fulfilling personal and public life by cultivating independent thinking, open-mindedness, creative expression, and commitment to lifelong learning and social responsibility in a diverse world.
The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and Transylvania University have been partners in education since 1865. As a result of this historic relationship, several scholarship opportunities are available to members of a DOC congregation.
Church membership must be verified by your minister by February 1 of your senior year. The Cane Ridge Scholarships, Guy & Nell Waldrop Disciples Leadership Scholarships, and Disciples Chalice Grants require a letter of recommendation from a minister. If you are eligible for multiple Disciples awards, only the highest award may be offered.
Amount
The Cane Ridge Scholarships, Guy & Nell Waldrop Disciples Leadership Scholarships, and Disciples Chalice Grants are awarded differing amounts.
