Covenant International Scholars Program
This scholarship program supports the development of indigenous church leadership of the mission churches of the Evangelical Covenant Church. Students receive a full tuition scholarship and living expenses (approximately $10,000/year) are provided by sponsors (individuals, churches, Covenant conferences).
In addition to the formal education these students receive, their North Park experience will provides opportunity to establish beneficial relationships among future leaders of the global Covenant church.
- A limited number of full tuition scholarships are available.
- Student must be recommended by the indigenous mission church of the Covenant and be affirmed by the Executive Minister of World Mission of the Covenant or the Director of Covenant World Relief. Students must originate in countries where there are limited educational opportunities and financial resources that are available to students.
- Students will follow normal procedures for completing and submitting an application for admission.
- Each student must be sponsored financially by an individual, a Covenant entity or a local church in an amount sufficient to pay for room, board, insurance, books, travel and personal expenses for the duration the student’s study at North Park University. This is currently estimated at $10,000 – 11,000 per year. A student may stay in the North Park neighborhood with a sponsoring family, reducing the need to fund housing. The sponsor will cover summer living expenses. The student has limited work opportunities while in school.
- Students receiving a Covenant International Scholars Program grant will be required to sign an agreement giving assurance of their intention to return to their country of origin upon completion of graduation and a commitment to repay the cost of tuition to North Park University if they fail to return to their country of origin.
