Congregational Fellowship

The Congregational Fellowship enables a congregation to provide significant financial aid for a student entering the first year of a Master of Divinity program. This matching grant program doubles the investment of a congregation in the theological education of a young person (35 years of age or younger).

Congregational Fellowships are for students entering their first year in a full-time Master of Divinity program. To be considered, they must be nominated by a congregation.


The nominating congregation commits $2,000 – $5,000 toward the cost of the student’s first year. If the student is selected as a Fellow, FTE matches the congregation’s commitment dollar for dollar.
