Seminary Scholarship -
NIC Board of Ordained Ministry
|
|
The Northern Illinois Conference Board of Ordained Ministry provides a limited number of “endowed” scholarships each year.
|
|
These scholarships are targeted toward:
|
|
Ministerial students who exhibit excellence in one or more areas of ministry (eg. Preaching, Christian Education, Worship, Stewardship/Church Administration, Evangelism) during their first or second year of seminary.
Ministerial students who demonstrate financial need.
Especially promising college students who have caught the attention of pastor or lay leaders within their local church and who might be enabled to try seminary if granted a multi-thousand dollar scholarship their first year.
|
|
Requirements to qualify for this scholarship, which has a maximum value of $4,000 per candidate, per year, include:
|
|
An applicant must be (at least) a “Declared Candidate” in the process for ordination, as defined by the Board of Higher Education and Ministry.
An applicant must be able to offer written proof of active leadership and active membership within a local church.
|
|
Anyone who applies for this scholarship needs to be aware that, if you receive one of these scholarship awards, the Board of Ordained Ministry and the Northern Illinois Conference will expect you to serve within our Conference for at least three years… preferably much longer. Consequently, if you have no intention of serving within this Conference, please do not apply for one of these scholarships. |
|
Note that we expect that a prime source of information/feedback for informing the selection process for these scholarship awards will be seminary faculty/staff and/or pastors and lay leaders within local churches, as they recognize extraordinary potential within candidates.
|
|
Interested persons who meet the requirements should request an application form from:
|
|
Rev. Thomas Petty, 2121 Sheridan Rd., Evanston, IL 60201 (Thomas.Petty@garrett.edu).
