MINISTRY SUPPORT
Grants and Scholarships
Borgfeldt Legacy Grants
Borgfeldt Legacy grants are available to congregations, schools, aged care and community services, and departments/agencies of the Lutheran Church of Australia and New Zealand that require financial support for projects that support the welfare of children (defined as under the age of 18 years). An application may be for a specific once-off project or for initial support for a longer-term child-focused program.
Local Mission offers two funding streams: Major Grants (maximum value of $50,000) and Minor Grants (maximum value of $10,000).
LCA Study Grants
Study grants are available to members of the LCA for study that will better equip them for service within the church.
Usually up to $5000 for any one grant, the funding is to be used to cover costs associated with a study program or training project. Most grants are awarded to support courses no longer than one year full-time in duration.
Applicants should check the final enrolment date for their chosen course and should submit an application for an LCA Study Grant earlier than the closing date if required.
LCA Student Fund
This fund is available to assist students who propose to train or are training at Australian Lutheran College (ALC) for service in the Lutheran Church, to an extent that they are not prevented from entering into such service through their own inability to meet in full the cost of the training involved or through their inability to secure assistance from other quarters.
