Ministerial Education Grant
Education and Clergy Development exists to develop healthy, fit and effective ministers who transform lives, churches, and communities through the hope and holiness of Jesus Christ. The Wesleyan Ministerial Education Grant program provides financial assistance to undergraduate students enrolled in an ordination track program at one of our Wesleyan universities and to graduate students attending an approved seminary. The Wesleyan Ministerial Education Grant program is available to undergraduate students who have completed 90 credit hours in their ordination track degree, and to graduate students pursuing ministry related degrees who have completed 20 credit hours in their approved program (up to half the program; 45 credit hours max).
Faculty Development Loan Grant
The Faculty Development Aid Program exists to support Wesleyans achieving the highest academic degree in a field (typically PhD) so they may be equipped to serve in The Wesleyan Church, especially in The Wesleyan Church’s academic institutions.
The Faculty Development Aid Program is a loan program administered by The Wesleyan Church through the Division of Education & Clergy Development. The loan becomes a grant as the recipient serves The Wesleyan Church in an educational capacity of various forms. Applicants should understand that in requesting aid from this program they are applying for a loan that must either be repaid or cancelled through subsequent service. Applicants should sense that they are being called to serve in educational ministry or educational service.
