Kern Family Foundation MDiv Scholarships

The Kern Family Foundation of Waukesha, Wisconsin, was founded in 1998 with the goal of trying to improve the core moral and spiritual values in our society. The foundation believes that one of the ways to accomplish this goal is by assisting in the strengthening of our country's local churches. The foundation also believes that one of the main keys to the strength and success of any church is the ability, strength, and devotion of its pastor.

In an effort to keep our local churches strong and vibrant and to encourage more young people of excellence to enter the pastoral ministry, the Kern Family Foundation is providing a minimum of five full-tuition scholarships per year for three years for TEDS MDiv students who express a commitment to pastoring in a local church.
