Lenoir-Rhyne Martin Luther Fellow Scholarship
Offered by Lenoir-Rhyne University
About this scholarship
The Martin Luther Fellow Scholarship is a Lenoir-Rhyne University opportunity for Lutheran students whose service and leadership have made an outstanding contribution to their church and community. Unlike the university's Friends in Faith matching program, this award uses a congregation-supported nomination: the student's home church completes the official form to place the student under consideration. The live application requests the nominee's contact information, high school and graduation year, church, pastor, and congregational committee chair. The person submitting it must affirm that the pastor or another appropriate church official knows about and supports the nomination, and that church permission is required for the student to receive the scholarship. Lenoir-Rhyne's current page does not publish a guaranteed dollar amount, application deadline, or renewal schedule, so those details should not be inferred from older university catalogs or third-party directories. A student interested in the award should coordinate with the home congregation early and ask Lenoir-Rhyne admissions or financial aid when nominations for the intended entering class will be reviewed.
