Professional Church Workers
Grants Available from the
Southeastern District, LCMS
A priority of the Southeastern District is to raise up servant leaders in the form of LCMS professional church workers. To financially assist those who have pledged their service to become rostered LCMS workers, the District has established a Student Aid Grant program that is administered by the Student Aid Task Force comprised of church workers and laity of the Southeastern District. The program is funded through the allocation of budgeted funds of the Southeastern District as well as donations from generous individuals, congregations, and service organizations.
Regulations and procedures regarding the SED Student Aid Program can be found in OM 360. An application for assistance is required for each year of study. First-time applicants are required to have an endorsement from their home pastor. Awards are for one year only and do not imply a commitment from one year to the next. Applications will be reviewed by the Student Aid Task Force in June. Applicants and the respective financial aid office will be advised by mid July of grants awarded. Awards are disbursed in two installments, first in August and then late December directly to the school listed on the application. Questions regarding the grant process can be directed to the District Business Manager, David Kennedy at 703-971-9371 (toll free 800-637-5723), Ext. 213 or dkennedy@se.lcms.org
