Bridgewater College Church of the Brethren Scholarship
Offered by Bridgewater College
About this scholarship
Bridgewater College provides a $1,000 institutional scholarship to undergraduate students who are members of the Church of the Brethren. The award appears in the college’s current financial-aid information for both first-year and transfer students. Bridgewater does not publish a separate scholarship form or closing date: students apply for admission, supply the academic records required for their applicant type, and the college informs admitted students of scholarship eligibility. The direct Apply link therefore opens Bridgewater’s live application-management system, where first-time applicants create an account and returning applicants continue an application. The college’s admissions page confirms that Fall 2027 first-year and Spring/Fall 2027 transfer applications are available. This record deliberately uses Bridgewater’s current official annual amount of $1,000 rather than the directory’s unsupported $4,000 figure. The college’s financial-aid FAQ lists a 2.0 cumulative year-end GPA as the renewal standard for the Church of the Brethren award. Students should identify their Church of the Brethren membership accurately in the admission and financial-aid process and may contact the Financial Aid Office if their membership is not reflected in the aid package. There is no promise of a fixed recipient count on the official page, and the scholarship remains subject to the college’s eligibility review.
