About Scholarship
The Rev. Chuck and Nancy Thomas Scholarship was founded in 1998 to honor Chuck Thomas' career in the Unitarian Universalist ministry and his family's long-standing commitment to lay leadership. This scholarship serves Unitarian Universalism by valuing community service and lay leadership as critical elements of a call toward professional theological training. Each year it supports a student in the first year of seminary or in preparatory academic work. Scholars qualify for the award by demonstrating their outstanding commitment to Unitarian Universalism as lay leaders. The seminary or undergraduate institution the applicant plans to attend must be recognized by the UUA's Ministerial Credentialing Office or the comparable authority of another U/U community that was a member of the former ICUU. The scholarship is available to international applicants. Two letters of recommendation are required. These letters should show a connection between the individual's ministry and their life goals along with examples of their strong leadership skills as a lay leader. Ideally, letters will be written by individuals familiar with the applicant's work as a UU leader. A 2-3 page essay must also be submitted. Written material beyond three pages will not be reviewed for consideration. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Unitarian Universalist Association for more information.
