SCHOLARSHIP
Thanks to a few generous donors, we are able to offer full scholarships to our residents. If an applicant is accepted into the residency program and awarded the scholarship, they will be asked to pay an upfront deposit to secure their spot (and cover some of the one-time expenses for the start of the year), but the scholarship will cover the rest of their tuition for the whole year.
The one-time deposit is equal to one month of tuition.
For 2026-2027:
-
$1,250 for those enrolled in the student pathway (working towards credits) and
-
$800 for those enrolled in our internship pathway (working towards a certificate or are second-year residents)
The Residency Leadership has sole discretion to award these scholarships based on need and the quality of the candidate's application, essay, and interview. The scholarships are awarded on an ongoing basis.
Fundraising
Since this program is both an educational and ministry experience, we encourage residents to seek support from their own churches if possible. Your church, friends, or family can donate to cover a portion of your cost through our website.
Each resident will learn how to fundraise as a part of their course on Missional Formation, in preparation for their El Salvador study and ministry trip.
