2011 Scholarship

The Lutheran Lay Fellowship of the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Area (LLF) is pleased to announce the availability of one scholarship award for 2011.

One of the five objectives of the LLF is "to initiate and support worthy projects of a religious, charitable, and educational nature." The promotion and encouragement of the pursuit of degree oriented education among Lutheran students is the purpose of the scholarship program.

This program, which is an outgrowth of the Bly Scholarship Program and the Scherzer Scholarship Program (both of which were administered by LLF’s Scholarship Committee under the direction of its Board of Directors), supports this objective. Collectively, the intention of the two original programs was to direct awards to promising students entering careers which would enable them to help those in need of spiritual development, and/or affordable shelter and medical attention both at home and abroad. This intention is continued in this program focusing on committed applicants going into their third or fourth year of undergraduate study.

This year's scholarship award is $1,500. Consideration for the award will be weighted toward a promising applicant planning to pursue a career which would enable him/her to help those who are in need of spiritual and/or material assistance either at home or abroad.

• An applicant must be a member in good standing of a Lutheran congregation located in the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Area.
  
  
• An applicant must be accepted by or already attending, on a full-time basis, a Lutheran school (university, college, junior college, or seminary).
  
  
• No applicant will be granted an award for two consecutive years.
  
  
• No applicant will be granted more than two awards.

The application process is informal; however, information required of an applicant is specified in the 2011 Student Application Form.
