The three Brehm Scholarships are awarded to a Master of Arts student, a Master of Divinity student, and a PhD student, respectively, who show exceptional promise for full-time church, academic, missions or arts related vocations; who demonstrate leadership abilities; and who indicate that they will engage in the revitalization of worship in the Church through practice and conversation, and that they will contribute to the research on the role of worship and the arts in life, thought, and the community.

Recipients of the scholarships are full-time students who most closely meet the following criteria (as well as the standard requirements established by their respective schools):
1. Enrollment in a Worship, Theology, and the Arts concentration approved by the Brehm Center Academic Director
2. Demonstrated academic excellence

SELECTION
Brehm Scholars are selected by a committee chosen by the Executive and Academic Directors of the Brehm Center for Worship, Theology, and the Arts, in collaboration with the Office of Student Financial Services and in accordance with the seminary’s policies and practices governing all student financial aid.
AMOUNT OF AWARDS
Each scholarship includes full tuition and standard enrollment fees for the term or normal years of study and will be renewed each year as long as the scholar remains in good standing until the degree is completed or until tuition is no longer needed.
