The Beth E. Marcus scholarship fund offers up to eight scholarships per year, for part-time and full-time female seminarians studying through the RCA’s theological agencies: New Brunswick Theological Seminary (NBTS), Western Theological Seminary (WTS) in-residence and distance learning programs, and the Ministerial Formation Certification Agency (MFCA). A scholarship may be awarded to the same student multiple times during her course of study if she meets the criteria, reapplies for the scholarship, and is selected.
To be eligible for this scholarship, applicants must: be enrolled and in good standing through a Reformed Church in America agency, i.e., NBTS, WTS, or MFCA, with full- or part-time status, in an M.Div., M.A., M.T.S., or equivalent degree program; have a 3.0 GPA; maintain membership in good standing in an RCA church; and intend to serve Christ in ministry and mission; this will be the most important factor in the decision, though it will be understood in the broadest sense.
