Advanced thanks to this blog, it’s really a big help for us who want to take seminary education. It’s easy for us now to choose which institution we would ask for funding help on our education needs. But there’s one thing I would like to ask, are non-chinese seminarians qualified to these scholarship fund?

Hello-
My name is Ella Frye. I have been accepted into Alliance Theological Seminary in Nyack, NY.
I am trying to find a way to apply for grant funding or scholarship help and am running in circles on the internet, with no success of finding what I actually need.
Do you know where I can find applications for a person who has already been accepted into graduate seminary and now needs some help in funding opportunities to pursue the desired education?
I will be pursuing a master of divinity in missions from Alliance Theological Seminary.
Any advice you could give would be appreciated.
In Christ,
Ella Frye

RE: APPLICATION FOR SCHOLARSHIP
My name is Daniel Gathuma Gachanja, and i am a Kenyan citizen aged 23 years old.
I Wish to kindly request your office to consider my application for scholarship in your school to enable me become competent and attain the vision that i have in life.
I finished my high school education in the year 2005. After high school i joined Afircan Mission Center and did a course on Missionary and Music. Thereafter i got another chance to study music in Jubilee School of Ministry. By the grace of GOD, i came to South Korea this year 2009 at Elim Vocational Training School majoring on Interior Design. My family background is as follows;
I am a 7th born in a family of eight. My father is a farmer while my mother is a housewife. My parents have been able to take us to school through strugles and efforts made by family friends and relatives. Due to this many of my siblings have not been able to attain a higher education. I hope to bring hope to my family by gaining better education and atleast make a difference.
I learnt about this website through a friend of mine here in Korea, after i shared with her about my vision in life and the calling that GOD has given me.
Later on i went to seek for more information about the it and my interest grew bigger and bigger to join the school.
I am in particular interested in pusuing Theology since this is the area that the Lord is calling me to.
I want to cause change to my generation which has lost a sense of direction through the word of GOD in my continent, and elsewere the Lord will send me to.
My heart will be so joyful to hear that you have positively responed to my plea.
Yours Faithfully
Daniel Gathuma Gachanja.
