College Scholarships

McKinley offers scholarship opportunities every academic school year. Scholarship awards range from $1,000 to $2,000. Applications are available on the Presby Hall website.

  • McKinley Freshman Scholarship
    The McKinley Foundation Freshman Scholarship is available exclusively to students who are incoming freshmen at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and who are Illinois residents. Preference is given to those candidates who demonstrate academic achievement; civic engagement or volunteer service, especially for social justice issues; and financial need.
  • Ullman Scholarship
    The Ullman Scholarship is named for the late Rina Ullman of Urbana, a member of McKinley Presbyterian Church, and a choir member and music lover. The Ullman Scholarship is an award of $2,000 ($1,000 awarded in the fall semester, and a second $1,000 in the spring semester), to a resident of Presby Hall in Champaign.
  • Wert Scholarship
    The Wert Scholars Fund is named for the late Charles A. Wert, a member and elder of the McKinley Presbyterian Church, and a professor of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois.  The Wert Scholars Fund benefits a student studying for the Christian ministry, and may also be used for those that are studying for lay minister positions.  The Wert Scholars Fund is generally an award of about $2,000.
