Any student seeking financial assistance in order to participate in a College-sponsored Service Trip (such as Alternative Fall or Spring Break trips offered through Religious & Spiritual Life or the Wooster Volunteer Network), may submit requests to the Chaplain\/Director of RSL<\/a>. Dispersal amounts will be based on need relative to the cost of the trip, and some full scholarships will be available each year. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
Any student interested in exploring seminary or theological education programs after Wooster (such as M.Div, MTS, or M.A. degree programs in Religious Studies, regardless of the student\u2019s religious identity\/tradition) may request financial assistance to subsidize travel, hotel\/lodging, and food costs associated with their visit. All visits to seminaries\/theological graduate programs must be discussed with the Chaplain\/Director of RSL<\/a> prior to scheduling so funds can be distributed accordingly. At this time, only visits to institutions within the United States are eligible for funding.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Any student interested in organizing opportunities for local service\/outreach (such as community engagement projects, food\/clothing drives, etc.) or attending faith-based conferences focused on leadership development may request funding from the Chaplain\/Director of RSL.
