Partner Church Scholarships
Hundreds of students each year from our partner communities in Transylvania (Romania) and India are given the opportunity to continue their education, thanks to the support of UUCF members like you!
Each year, the Partner Church scholarship program collects funds to support high school and college students in the village of Szentgerice, Transylvania; high school students at the Janos Zsigmond Unitarius Kollegium in Kolozsvar, Transylvania; and the Puriang Unitarian School in Khasi Hills of India.
The program matches UUCF members and friends with a student (or class) who benefits directly from your generous support.

The scholarship program, now in its 11th year, is one of the hallmark projects of the UUCF congregation. It was founded with the belief that supporting education is one of the most effective ways we can help. The scholarship program is administered by the Partner Church Circle and was named the Bob Tripp Scholarship Program to honor one of its founders, Bob Tripp, who developed and coordinated the program for more than ten years.

Thank you for affirming UUCF values through the Partner Church scholarship program. Your dollars go a long way in Transylvania and India. Your donation makes a difference.
