The Dora Maclellan Brown Ministry Scholarships are one of the most unique in the country. These scholarships will be awarded to students from the greater Chattanooga area who are theologically and biblically conservative, and who are seeking to continue their education in Christian service work at a theological seminary, Bible college, or graduate school. Specifically, the student will be focusing on classes or master's degrees that will prepare them for vocational Christian service work. This includes Master's of Divinity, Master's of Theology, master's degree in biblical counseling, missions, worship music or other fields for Christian service work. It also includes students who are participating in continuing education to assist in their bi-vocational Christian service work. The committee does not consider applications for doctoral programs. Applicants must submit three references: an academic reference from someone who knows you as a student and how you work in an educational setting; a church reference from someone from your local church staff who can speak to your gifts and your call to vocational ministry; and a personal reference from someone who knows you, truly knows you, and can speak to you as a person. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information about the scholarship and the required materials, especially the essays required.
