The David Eaton Scholarship was established to affirm Rev. David Hilliard Eaton's vision of a community dedicated to strengthening hope, justice and balance, and creating an anti-racist, multi-cultural religious organization and country. This scholarship is awarded to women from a historically marginalized group who share the same vision as David Eaton. The Ministerial Credentialing Office has limited scholarship funds available to students enrolled in a Master's of Divinity degree program leading to fellowship as a Unitarian Universalist (UU) minister. Aspirant or Candidate status is required. Applicants for financial aid are automatically considered for scholarships and no additional material is required, except where noted. In addition, priority is given to those grantees that have demonstrated outstanding ministerial ability secondarily to students with the greatest financial need, especially those who hold historically marginalized identities. Grantees will be primarily citizens of the United States and Canada, and if they continue to excel in both academic and social performance may be eligible for additional scholarships. Please have a Unitarian Universalist minister in full fellowship (not a faculty member from your theological school) and your faculty advisor or other faculty member (where you are currently a student) fill out a recommendation letter form. If the applicant is no longer a student, they must have an advisor or faculty member from their seminary submit the recommendation form. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Unitarian Universalist Association for more information.
