The Herbert W. and Corinne Chilstrom Scholarship provides assistance to Lutheran women during their final year at an ELCA seminary. Candidates must be preparing for ordained ministry in the ELCA and must have been endorsed by their synodical candidacy committee. A copy of the letter of endorsement form from the applicant's committee must be provided during the application. Applicants must submit a certification from their academic dean or dean of students, certifying that they are enrolled in the Master of Divinity program and that they are a student in good standing. An Academic Reference Form from a member of the seminary faculty, an academic reference assessing the quality of the applicant's academic work and evaluating the applicant's potential in ordained ministry must also be submitted. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America for more information.
