THE WOLFRUM FAMILY LUTHERAN TEACHER’S SCHOLARSHIP is available to any member of Trinity Lutheran Church, Tinley Park, who is at least 19 years of age and is studying to be a parochial school teacher in the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod. If interested in applying for this scholarship, or if you are interested in receiving more information pertaining to the Wolfrum Scholarship, please contact either Steve Stec or Pastor Strand.

 

THE CHURCH WORKER SCHOLARSHIP FUND was established at the January 2000 Board of Christian Day School. This fund was established to assist those students preparing for work in the church (i.e. pastor, teacher, DCE, lay minister, deaconess, etc.). Many members of Trinity Lutheran Church and School donate to the Church Worker Fund. Former members of Trinity, who benefited greatly from this fund, are now serving in congregations in Illinois and Missouri. At a time when student loans are very high upon graduation and beginning salaries for church workers are low, these additional dollars from Trinity are a tremendous gift to the students and his or her family.

 

Applications for the 2010 – 2011 school year will be available soon by contacting Mr. Steve Stec.
