LWF Scholarship for 2025 -Notice and Application Link Published

To

All the Bishops/Presidents of UELCI Constituent Member Churches

Dear Bishop/President/Moderator,

Greetings to you in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Hope you have received the communication from LWF regarding the New

Application Phase for LWF Scholarships for 2025. Although LWF has

sent the communication related to online registration, we, for

various practical reasons, will continue to follow the old system

until the applications are approved by the UELCI Scholarship

Committee. Once this is approved by the member churches and then by

the UELCI Scholarship Committee, we will go for the online procedure

of LWF.

· Each member church is eligible to apply for 7 scholarships,

5 for regular and 2 for short-term scholarships. 5 Regular

scholarship applications for the period from 1 to 4 years and 2 short

term for maximum 1 year.

– 5 regular scholarships include Group scholarship. A group consisting

of 2 up to 10 persons pursuing the same field and level of training

together for similar or common areas of engagement, and at a

relatively lower cost.

– 2 Short-term scholarships which last up to 1 year provide church

workers with specific skills and apply to the immediate daily work of

the church/church related institutions. Short-term scholarships may

include a training, online course, workshop, seminar, or research

project related to leadership development, project management, gender

awareness, food security, etc. Kindly encourage your church workers

to make use of this short term scholarship.

· The last date to receive the filled in application (attached

here) to UELCI is not later than 14th August 2024.

· Kindly adhere to the joint LWF gender and youth quota if

more than one candidate is being proposed. This means that at least

40% of the proposed candidates must be female, and at least 20% must

be below the age of 30. These quotas will apply overall for all the

proposed candidates, as well as for each of the proposed areas of

study (Theology and Diakonia).

· Kindly send by post one hard copy of the filled in

application form and soft copy through email id: uelci@uelci.org.in

· Once it is approved by the UELCI Scholarship Committee (date

will be informed later) the uploading of the application through an

online process will start by each church/individual candidate.

Kindly remember these points and send the application form before the

prescribed date.

Thanking you,

With kind regards,

Yours sincerely,

Rev. Dr. A. Joshuva Peter
