go to unknown scholarships – which gives student aid ideas. Read about Episcopal Scholarships for Christians which may not help but which may give direction. View this list of scholarships which you may find a few to apply which may be a good fit. Read about the many scholarships and grants available. Look into Community service scholarships and club scholarships. Unknown volunteer scholarships exist too and are worth looking into based on what you mentioned.

I am an adult student on the Highest Honors Dean’s list at Colorado Christian University, completing 18 credit hours per semester towards a BA in psychology with hopes of attending graduate school to earn a masters in counseling. In 2010, as an extended unit intern, I successfully completed 2 units of Clinical Pastoral Education at the local hospital; and I continued working as a volunteer chaplain until becoming a full time student. Concurrently, with my studies at Colorado Christian University, I am in Stephen Ministry training to learn parish ministry, and I manage the Lay Eucharistic Ministry program at our church, my responsiblities are to care for our parishioners who have been hospitalized or are in care centers. This, as with my hospital work, is all volunteer.

My volunteerism helps those who I serve, but it does not help me pay for my education that is required to move forward. I seem to run into dead ends looking for scholarships; as most are denominational. I am a conservative 1928 BCP classical Anglican and my church recently separated from the Episcopal church due to theological differences. I can not find any Classical Anglican specific scholarships, I recently asked my church only to find out there are none available through them.

I have been offered unsubsidized student loans, however, I really do not foresee my calling as the type of work that will pay a salary in order to pay back the loans. I find myself looking for a way to do the work God has called me to do AND pay for my education, which seems like a monumental task.

I have been married for over 30 years, I have one 18 year old child, and all three of us are currently in college. My husband makes too much money for assistance for any of us, but with all of our college costs, we barely scrape by. I have applied for jobs that offer tuition reimbursement, and was told that with the economy being as it is, they receive thousands of applications for one position; to just keep trying.

I would appreciate guidance and also prayers for God’s direction on this.

Thank you,
In Christ,
Lynda
