"Give Something Back" Scholarships
This year will mark the inaugural distribution of "Give Something Back" Scholarship funds. The "Give Something Back" endowment fund began as a three-year campaign in 1992. Funds raised for the endowment were to provide financial assistance to recipients seeking clinical educational preparation for service in ministries of Chaplaincy, Pastoral Counseling, and Clinical Supervision. In addition, the endowment created an opportunity for those who had received financial assistance for their own education to "give something back" by helping others with similar needs.
The Inter-Lutheran Coordinating Committee for Ministries in Chaplaincy, Pastoral Counseling, and Clinical Education (ILCCMCPCCE) has appointed a scholarship committee and has designed an application process that will enable it to begin awarding $6,000 in scholarships per year.
The "Give Something Back" endowment will make a very limited number of financial awards available to individuals seeking ecclesiastical endorsement and ertification/credentialing in ministries of chaplaincy, pastoral counseling, and clinical education. Applicants must:
*H
ave completed one (1) unit of CPE.
*Be rostered or eligible for active roster status in the ELCA/LCMS.
*Not already be receiving funds from the ELCA/LCMS national MCPCCE offices.
*Submit an application with a financial data form for committee review.
Applicants must complete the Scholarship Application and Financial Data forms that are available from ELCA and LCMS Offices for Ministries in Chaplaincy, Pastoral Counseling, and Clinical Education. Contact information, including web links that provide further information about ELCA and LCMS ministries of chaplaincy, pastoral counseling, and clinical education, is provided below.
