DMin Scholarships

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 24 scholarships, totaling $12,000, directly impacting the recipients, their churches, and their communities. To date, 46% 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.

Women in ministry often face unique challenges, including:

Financial Strain

Money for school often comes from their family budget, not the church budget.

Time Constraints

Male pastors are typically given time to pursue doctorates, while women must balance personal and professional responsibilities.

Systemic Barriers

Women are afforded less latitude in prioritization of their goals. They can pursue their doctorates once all other responsibilities are completed—a time that seems perpetually out of reach.

Our scholarships help alleviate these burdens, providing crucial support for their Doctor of Ministry (DMin) studies. This program is especially impactful for BIPOC women, empowering them to bring transformative change to their churches and communities.
