This fund has been established by the NRIT Advisory Committee in honor of Jessica Crist's faithful service to NRIT in an effort to help fulfill NRIT's mission "to provide and promote lifelong learning for the people of the Montana Synod for the purpose of equipping them in their lives of ministry." Initial funding has come from the generous donations of several members of the Montana Synod, including a portion of the offering from Bishop Crist's installation service. Donations to the fund are invited and welcomed!
The scholarship is need-based and will be distributed at the discretion of the NRIT Director in conversation with the Bishop and, if necessary, the NRIT Advisory Committee. It is available for both clergy and lay persons, including AIM's, Diaconal Ministers, Deaconesses, LPA's, and other congregational lay leaders. The scholarship is applicable only toward NRIT-sponsored events.
To apply, use the application below or print the application found on NRIT's website, www.nrit.org. Please indicate briefly the specific NRIT event you wish to attend and why you are seeking the scholarship, including financial need and how the event will contribute to your learning and ministry. Each person is limited to receiving one scholarship per year.
