A new full-tuition scholarship to Eastern Mennonite Seminary (EMS) is available for undergraduate students who complete the Young Adult Leadership Laboratory (Y鈥橝LL) program offered through Mennonite Church USA.聽

EMS will award up to three scholarships annually to students who successfully complete the Y鈥橝LL internship program. To qualify, students must maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA during their undergraduate studies, receive an application recommendation, and be accepted into a certificate or master鈥檚 degree program at EMS. They must enroll at EMS within five years and six months of graduating from their undergraduate program.

鈥淲e want to provide that next step for students who realize, 鈥榊es, this is what I want to do, and I want to pursue further training,鈥欌�� said Adam King MDiv 鈥�18, graduate recruitment specialist for 黑料正能量鈥檚 seminary programs.

Y鈥橝LL, a Mennonite Church USA program that relaunches the former Ministry Inquiry Program, allows college students to explore a calling to ministry through internships with churches and other ministry organizations.

Participants work under the supervision of pastors or ministry leaders, gaining hands-on experience in various aspects of congregational life and work. Up to six candidates are selected for the program each year. 

King said young people sometimes need encouragement from others to recognize their potential for ministry. 

鈥淔or many people, it starts with someone saying, 鈥楬ey, I know you, I see you, and you have something to offer. Have you considered going to seminary? Have you considered pursuing ministry?鈥欌��

During the 10-week internship, participants are expected to work approximately 35 hours per week, attend regular virtual calls, receive supervision and instruction, and complete a 750- to 1,000-word reflection.

Applications for the Y鈥橝LL program are now open and will be accepted through Jan. 31, 2027.
