Apply now for Episcopal Church 2023-2024 educational scholarships

February 16, 2023
Office of Public Affairs

Applications are being accepted for a wide variety of educational scholarships from The Episcopal Church for the 2023-2024 academic year. The deadline to apply is April 12. All applicants must be Episcopalian.

The scholarships—derived from annual income of more than 45 trust funds established through bequests to The Episcopal Church—range from assistance for children of missionaries, bishops and clergy to individuals seeking theological education and training. The maximum award is $10,000 per student.

Last year, 131 educational scholarships were awarded for more than $388,000 to students from 45 dioceses and overseas Anglican partners.

At least nine of the scholarships are designated for Native American youth; others are specific to Black, Asian American, Chinese, and Hispanic students, as well as seminarians, among other listings. Applicants are encouraged to read the scholarship trust fund list and identify in their application those funds that best fit their situation.

The application form is available online only in English and Spanish. Only complete applications will be considered. All applicants must have the endorsement of their Episcopal bishop.

Applications are reviewed by a scholarship committee composed of representatives from the Episcopal Church Executive Council, the church-at-large, the Treasurer’s Office, and various other Episcopal Church ministries.

For more information, contact Ann Hercules, associate for grants and scholarships.
