Grants and Fellowships

FTE is leading change for good by nurturing faithful, wise, courageous leaders for the church and the academy. One way we accomplish this mission is by offering diverse young adults, students and partner organizations financial support and opportunities to develop leadership in the face of complex shifts in the church, economy and theological education.

Students & Young Adults

FTE has supported more than 7,000 young adults, rising church leaders and scholars on their path to vocation. These leadership and vocational discernment opportunities have helped to generate some of the most influential religious voices within denominational bodies, congregations, theological institutions and society.

Church & Faith Leaders

Congregations, denominations, academic institutions, intentional communities, and other Christian communities have a role and stake in cultivating the next generation of leaders. FTE offers numerous opportunities to strengthen Christian communities as they cultivate young leaders for the church and academy.
