LTS Scholarship Funds

Annual Giving Scholarship

Contributions to scholarships support the overall success of the Seminary community, including financial aid for our students, compensation for our exceptional faculty and staff, mentorship, and co-curricular programs, as well as day-to-day campus needs, such as maintenance to new technology.

For $12,500, a donor can create an annual giving scholarship that provides general aid to help support academically qualified Seminary students. An annual giving scholarship is an immediate way for alumni and friends to help fund a Moravian student’s education.

Endowed Scholarship

Endowed scholarship funds are part of Lancaster Theological Seminary's total endowment fund to take advantage of being part of a large pool of investments. Each endowment fund is accounted for as a separate fund within the larger endowment.

By establishing an endowed scholarship fund, you will directly impact Seminary students for countless future generations. The fund will become a permanent memorial and ongoing investment in the future of the Seminary and our students.

  • You may establish an unrestricted endowed scholarship fund with a minimum gift of $25,000. The fund can be established through a single gift or with payments over two to five years.
  • You may establish a restricted endowed scholarship fund with a minimum gift of $50,000. The fund can be established through a single gift or with payments over two to five years. With a restricted fund, you may specify a preference for the type of student(s) who will benefit from the scholarship award (i.e., students with a particular major, from a specific geographic area, etc.)
  • You may name an endowed scholarship fund for yourself, a member of your family, or in memory/honor of an individual or group (i.e., the Class of 1966 Scholarship Fund).
  • Additional gifts to an endowed scholarship fund may be made by any person at any time.
  • Donors with established funds receive information on the student who receives the scholarship award each year.
  • The student is informed of the name of the donor, unless the donor wishes to remain anonymous.
  • Both the student and donor are invited to attend events celebrating  scholarship recipients and donors who have established scholarships.
