As you register for winter classes, consider the travel course HC4337 Diaconal Ministry. Costs for student attendance are substantially underwritten by the deaconess community of the ELCA for all students registering for the course (grants are for all students, not only those in candidacy or those exploring the ELCA deaconess community). Participants in the course may choose one of the following two grant options: (1) tuition for course credit or course audit (deaconess community pays Luther Seminary or participant’s home seminary cost of course tuition directly), or (2) reimbursement of travel assistance, housing, and food costs at retreat center for in-person component (all double-occupancy housing and food costs are covered, travel reimbursed up to $600). For more information, contact Sister Dottie Almoney, dottie.almoney@elca.org, Directing Deaconess of the ELCA.
