Scholarship Applications Due Soon
There is one month left to apply to the Foundation's various academic award opportunities for United Church of Canada ministers, ministry students, and lay people. I highlight two of the available opportunities below and thank you for sharing this information with your network!
The W. Norman McLeod Trust Fund was established in 1972 with the intent to constitute a trust fund for the promotion, advancement and encouragement of theological education. The W. Norman McLeod Scholarship is available to ordered ministers in the United Church of Canada for post-graduate study (with consideration for current special needs of the Church, such as leadership in ethnic ministries, rural ministries or women in ministry).
The Clifford Elliott Spirit of Saskatchewan Ministry Trust Fund was established in 2006 in memory of Clifford Elliott, a native of Saskatchewan and an ordained United Church minister. Cliff believed that the Saskatchewan values of co-operation, economic justice, and respect for the land and for its peoples have a universal application and will enliven the ministry of the Church wherever they are embraced.
The Clifford Elliott Spirit of Saskatchewan Ministry Award provides financial support to United Church of Canada ministry personnel or laypersons who have completed an M.Div. degree (or equivalent) and who intend to pursue graduate theological studies for Th.D, Ph.D, or D.Min. degrees.
