Are there any fully funded scholarships in the USA specifically for international students interested in theology? I'm trying to plan my next steps for my education, and financial aid is crucial for me.
Absolutely, there are numerous scholarships available for international students studying theology in the U.S. Here’s an outline of few options for you to consider:
1. Boston College: Their School of Theology and Ministry (STM) offers several fully funded scholarships for its Master's and Ph.D. programs, including some specifically for international students.
2. Emory University’s Candler School of Theology: Candler provides the International Scholars Program, which includes a full tuition scholarship for MDiv or MTS students who show exceptional promise for church leadership from countries outside of the U.S.
3. Theology Scholarships from the Fund for Theological Education: This organization offers a variety of scholarships for students studying in the field of theology, including programs specific to underrepresented communities.
4. Duke University’s Divinity School: Duke provides full-tuition scholarships including the Raynor Memorial Scholarship, which are open for international students.
