1st Financial Bank USA wants to celebrate those who recognize the importance of pursuing educational and financial goals with the 1st Financial Bank USA Financial Goals Scholarship.
Maureen Mulliner, a long time member of All Soul's Church in Washington, DC, made an estate gift to establish this award in order to affirm Rev. David Hilliard Eaton's vision of a community dedicated to strengthening hope, justice, and balance, and creating an anti-racist, multicultural religious organization and country. The David Eaton Scholarship is awarded to women from a historically marginalized group who share the same vision as David Eaton. The Ministerial Credentialing Office has limited scholarship funds available to students enrolled in a Master's of Divinity degree program leading to fellowship as a Unitarian Universalist (UU) minister. Applicants for financial aid are automatically considered for scholarships and no additional material is required, except where noted. In addition, priority is given to those grantees that have demonstrated outstanding ministerial ability secondarily to students with the greatest financial need, especially those who hold historically marginalized identities. Grantees will be primarily citizens of the United States and Canada, and if they continue to excel in both academic and social performance may be eligible for additional scholarships. Applicants must write a one-paragraph professional bio of themselves that describes their educational, professional, and personal background and their aspirations for the ministry. They must also submit a Recommendation Letter Form from a Unitarian Universalist minister in full fellowship (not a faculty member from the applicant's theological school) and another a Recommendation Letter Form from the applicant's faculty advisor or other faculty member where they are currently a student. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Unitarian Universalist Association for more information.
