The Fund for Theological
Education (FTE) has named two Millsaps students as Undergraduate
Fellows in the fourth year of its Partnership for Excellence
Program. Kimberly Jones of Fayetteville, Ark., and Kenneth
Townsend of Kosciusko have been selected from a pool
of applicants nationwide to participate in the program.
FTE awards fellowships
to college students who demonstrate superior academic
achievement and exceptional promise for ministry, with
the aims of introducing them to theological education
and encouraging their vocational discernment. This year,
the foundation honored only 70 students in America with
fellowships.
Each Undergraduate Fellow
will receive a $1,500 award to be used for educational
expenses or for a special project to explore ministry.
Additional funds are also available to support a mentoring
project to further investigate ministry and discern
vocation with a guide.
Established in 1954, the
Fund for Theological Education has grown in both scope
and commitment as one of the leading voices in theological
education. The Fund has awarded some 5000 fellowships
and counts among its alumni many of the most prominent
theological educators and church leaders in North America.
Today FTE continues its efforts to attract the best
and brightest students to the practices of ministry
and theological teaching and scholarship.
