Dear Friends in Christ:
The SELC Student Aid Committee is dedicated to provide financial assistance to
students from our district congregations who are preparing for full-time church work at our
synod’s colleges, universities, and seminaries. The members of the Student Aid Committee
are appointed by the President and Board of Directors and are currently served by Chairman
John Glanzer (St. Luke’s, Oviedo, FL) and Secretary Rev. Kevin McLeod (Resurrection,
Malvern, OH).
Students planning to attend or are currently attending our synod’s colleges, university,
and seminaries (and are enrolled in full-time church work programs) should complete the
accompanying application in order to apply for the SELC scholarship assistance.
Students receive the grants once per year, typically for the academic year that begins in
September and ends in May or June of the following year. The SELC District Application for
Financial Aid must be filled out and returned each year that the student is enrolled in the
institution. This form is separate from the District Financial Aid Form which the university or
seminary uses; although, this form is also sent to the Student Aid Committee.
It is the student’s responsibility to apply for aid. In addition to any scholarship aid
granted by the district, we also hope you have inquired if your congregation provides financial
assistance as well. Many of our congregations have scholarship funds for students preparing
for full-time church work. 
We are grateful to the Lord that the SELC Board of Directors and our congregations
have demonstrated their concern for future church workers by allocating generous funds for
financial assistance in the district’s budget. If you have any questions or concerns about any
aspect of our district’s financial aid program, please do not hesitate to contact me or Rev. Kevin
McLeod.

Sincerely,
John Glanzer, Chairman
SELC District Student Aid Committee
