Grant and Funding Programs Offered by Hosanna Ministry

Hosanna Ministry serves as a specialized scholarship provider for a specific demographic: Catholic religious sisters and nuns from countries where Catholic theological education is limited or unavailable. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, it bridges the financial gap that prevents these women from pursuing advanced theological studies in the United States.

The organization offers financial assistance for graduate-level theology and Scripture studies at recognized Catholic institutions in the U.S. Funding covers tuition, living expenses, and other costs associated with pursuing a master's degree. The scholarship is conditional upon the recipient's commitment to return to her home country after completing her studies to continue evangelization work.

Applicants must be Catholic religious sisters or nuns from countries where Catholic graduate education is not readily available. They must be pursuing graduate studies in theology or Scripture at a recognized Catholic institution in the U.S. and intend to return to their home country after completion. Applications are reviewed by an Evaluation Committee with recommendations made to the Board of Directors.

The organization operates two application cycles annually: applications due April 1st for Fall/Winter semester funding, and September 1st for Spring/Summer semester funding. Decisions are communicated within 60 days of the deadline.
