Scholarships and Awards

W. Norman McLeod Scholarship

Award Announcements

McLeod Scholarships were awarded to nine students in 2008.

The W. Norman McLeod Trust Fund was established in 1972. The Fund represents accumulated donations of cash, securities and investments donated from time to time by Mr. William Norman McLeod, with the intent to constitute a trust fund for the promotion, advancement and encouragement of theological education. The scholarship made available out of the income from the trust fund is known as "The W. Norman McLeod Scholarship."

The Scholarship is available to ordered ministers in the United Church of Canada for post-graduate study. Applicants in a master's (not M. Div.) or doctoral program may re-apply for two additional years. The Scholarship Committee reserves the right to approve the school of study.

Scholarship Criteria

The McLeod Scholarship Committee will use the following criteria in relation to each applicant:

  • Intention to continue serving The United Church of Canada
  • Commitment to pastoral ministry
  • Academic standing
  • Financial needs and resources

In making its decision the Committee will also consider current special needs of the Church, such as leadership in ethnic ministries, rural ministries or women in ministry.

Application and Further Information

The Scholarship is advertised in the Fall of each year. The application deadline is February 15. Awards are announced by April 15. In recent years awards have ranged from $500 to $1,500. Application forms are available online.
