Sheridan County YMCA Launches Faith Scholarship for Spiritual Exploration

The Sheridan County YMCA has launched the Faith Scholarship, a unique opportunity for students to explore their faith and community while receiving financial aid. Despite attempts, the identity of the anonymous donor behind this initiative remains unknown.

The scholarship, worth $1,000, is open to students from any institution of higher learning, be it a university, college, trade school, or certificate program. Unlike traditional scholarships, it does not require a minimum GPA or academic achievements. Instead, it focuses on spiritual and personal growth.

To apply, students must visit various places of worship and document each visit in a hand-bound book provided by the Sheridan County YMCA. This process aims to encourage interfaith exploration and strengthen personal faith.

Liz Cassiday, Executive Director of Sheridan County YMCA, has set a deadline for students to submit their completed logbooks. All entries must be turned in by October 31.

The Faith Scholarship, established by an anonymous donor, is a novel way to support students' spiritual journeys and broaden their horizons. By encouraging visits to different places of worship, it fosters understanding and respect for diverse faiths. Students have until October 31 to submit their completed logbooks to the Sheridan County YMCA.
