Will you help us close the gap, one scholar at a time?
We give away what we raise every summer for DMin Scholarships for
women in ministry.
About Our Scholarship Program
Diakonos Solutions offers unique ecumenical scholarships to support women in ministry pursuing their Doctor of Ministry (DMin) degrees. Over the past five years, we've awarded 25 scholarships, totaling $12,500, directly impacting the recipients, their churches, and their communities. To date, 52% of our scholarship recipients are BIPOC women.
Through this program, we affirm the hard work and dedication of women in ministry, fostering a more inclusive and equitable future for theological education.
Opportunity and Eligibility
Diakonos Solutions offers DMin scholarships each year. Awards will be made in early September.
Applicants must be enrolled in an ATS accredited institution and must have completed a minimum of one academic year (2 semesters) of studies.
What an incredible blessing and affirmation! Thank you, Diakonos Solutions, for your generosity and for investing in women pursuing doctoral work. This support encourages me to continue faithfully disrupting spaces where women have been silenced. I am honored and deeply grateful.
