UM Student Day
In The United Methodist Church, United Methodist (UM) Student Day is one of six Special Sundays with offerings supporting a particular ministry. On the last Sunday in November, our designated gifts benefit over 300 students a year who are pursuing opportunities in higher education.
UM Student Day began in 1936 when a college education could be attained for $450 annually. Today, that same education costs an average of $23,000 each year. The United Methodist Church believes that every person has the right to education and that the responsibility of educating young people rests with the family, faith communities, and the government. On this special Sunday, we have the opportunity to support scholarships and low-interest loans that help young leaders achieve their dreams.
