Scholarship Information

Scholarship Highlight: Lift Every Voice Scholarship

“What does it mean to be Black in the Church in society?” In 1989, Sr. Thea Bowman gave a moving speech to the USCCB and raised this important question. She goes on, “It means that I come to my Church fully functioning…I bring myself; my black self, all that I am, all that I have, all that I hope to become.” This fellowship recognizes the need for transformative ministry and amplified voices in pursuit of racial justice and reconciliation – working to heal the sins of our Church and nation. Candidates for this fellowship should demonstrate a commitment to the work of anti-racism and show potential for critical thinking and advocacy around the intersection of theology and race. This award covers This award covers 100% of a student’s tuition.

Please reach out to us with any questions at stmadm@bc.edu or 617-552-6506.

University of St. Mary of the Lake Mundelein Seminary

Sending Out Workers for the Vineyard

Jesus first formed his disciples by interacting with them directly, then sending them out to encounter others. Through their encounters with others, the disciples’ minds and hearts were conformed to the mind and heart of Jesus Christ. At the University of St. Mary of the Lake, we follow Jesus’ example by grounding all our programs on the principle of encounter-based formation.
