The Olympia Brown and Max Kapp Award is made to a ministerial student who, in addition to meeting the requirements for general financial aid, chooses to submit as part of their general financial application a paper, sermon, or other special project on some aspect of Universalism. Entries are evaluated by an outside reader. 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. 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 persons of color. 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. Applicants must write a one-paragraph professional bio of themselves that describes their educational, professional, and personal background and their aspirations for the ministry. They must also submit a Recommendation Letter Form from a Unitarian Universalist minister in full fellowship (not a faculty member from the applicant's theological school) and another a Recommendation Letter Form from the applicant's faculty advisor or other faculty member where they are currently a student. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Unitarian Universalist Association for more information.
