APPLICATIONS DUE EVERY YEAR IN EARLY MAY 15
The Mungo Scholarship is an annual award given to undergraduate students who are enrolled in a program of study at USC and plan to go on after college to study at a religious seminary (or similar graduate program, such as divinity school) linked to any religious tradition. Students need not be religious studies majors and may apply more than once. Students must be residents of South Carolina.
Scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis. The amounts awarded are based on the overall quality of application materials, that are well-crafted, concise, and substantive. Amounts may vary from year to year. The deadline for applications is each spring in early May. Awards are applied to the student's USC tuition in the following academic year.
