RESURRECTION SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

PROGRAM

It’s time to apply for the Resurrection Lutheran Church Scholarship Program. The purpose of this scholarship, in memory of Pastor Ferreri’s father Vincent, is to make available to worthy high school seniors, current undergraduate students and individuals planning to attend or attending seminary a means to compete for financial aid to supplement their tuition.

To be eligible, the applicant must be a communing member in good standing for at least two prior years of Resurrection Lutheran Church or Bethany Lutheran Church in Jersey City, New Jersey. In the fall of the year following the date of his/her application the student must attend regular day courses leading to a Bachelor’s degree at an accredited college or university. For those attending seminary their course of work should lead them to earning a Masters of Divinity.

This year we are in a position to offer two $500.00 scholarships for the undergraduate level and one for the seminary level. Applications should be submitted by May 18, 2008

The application requires two 250 to 750 word essays. One should discuss what this scholarship would mean to the applicant along with the applicant’s involvement in community/school; the second should describe the applicant’s faith journey as a disciple of Jesus to this point in the applicant’s life. Two recommendations, one from a member of the applicant’s congregation (other than the pastor) and another from someone in the community are also required. The application form is available in the narthex.

These scholarships are available due to the generosity of the people of Resurrection Lutheran and we thank all those who have contributed. Any questions can be addressed to Mike Walker, (609) 208-2880.
