Educational Grant Program
Grants for Advanced
Theological Study
Members of ELCA congregations who are enrolled in a doctoral
program for advanced theological study may apply directly to the
ELCA for financial aid through the ELCA’s Educational Grant Program
(EGP). Grants are given to Ph.D., Th.D., and Ed.D. candidates in
theological study appropriate to seminary teaching. The program is
open to both lay and ordained ELCA members.
Grants up to $4,000
per individual, per year are awarded. Recipients may apply annually
to renew their grants for a total of four years of support, but
renewals are not guaranteed. In addition, a fifth year of support up
to $2,000 may be awarded as a dissertation grant.
Annual grants are
awarded based on academic calendar years from July 1 through June
30. Applications must be received before April 15 prior to the
academic year for which the grant is sought. Awards will be
announced to recipients in June, and recipients will receive their
grants upon presentation of proof of registration, typically in
September.
