Thriving Rural Communities awards full merit-based scholarships.
Candidates are selected based on a review of Duke Divinity admissions materials and nominations from the annual conferences and from within the Divinity School community. While the Rural Ministry Fellowship is predominantly awarded to prospective or first-year full-time students, student pastors may also be nominated to receive an award. Interviews for the Rural Ministry Fellowship are held in two rounds, usually in late January and mid March, with awards made soon after these dates. The interview committee is composed of representatives from Duke Divinity School and the North Carolina and Western North Carolina Conferences of the United Methodist Church.
