Financial Aid Workshop on 10/11 & Early Scholarship Deadlines Approaching
Dear Students and Families,
Don't miss our upcoming Financial Aid Workshop on Sunday, October 11, 2026, right after the Worship Service in the Conference Room at First UMC Hyattsville (6201 Belcrest Rd, Hyattsville, MD 20782). Light refreshments will be provided!
We'll be covering essential topics, including:
• FAFSA application steps
• Searching and applying for Scholarships
• Understanding Student Loans
• Navigating other financial aid resources for college and technical school students
Get a Head Start on Scholarships!
Please note that **many scholarship deadlines fall in September and October**—well before our workshop takes place. We strongly encourage all students and families to be proactive in starting their search now so you don't miss out on these funding opportunities!
Here are a few helpful tools and search engines to get you started:
Scholarship Search Engines:

Don't forget about the resources available here as well.
We look forward to seeing you on October 11th!
