Josephine Seaman Scholarship

The Seaman funds provides a scholarship for an African American woman entering or returning to college or vocational training. The scholarships are available to:

• Young women beginning their college education (in a four year college/university)
• Older women beginning a career (not limited to a four year college)
• Women preparing for a second career (not limited to a four year college/university)

Applicants must be a resident of Southern California and a member of one of our United Church of Christ churches. Applications will be available from the Conference Office in February and must be returned to the Conference Office prior to May 3rd. The Conference reviews each application, makes a decision, and notifies all applicants of the decision. Awards will be made at the Conference Annual Meeting whenever possible. Payments will be made directly to the recipient in two installments. Conference staff and their dependents are not eligible. If no eligible woman applies, this scholarship may not be given out.

For more information or an application, please contact the Conference Office.
