From UUA.ORG:
Grants are available through the Ministerial Development Office to help ministers in fellowship fund their Continuing Education (CE) efforts. (This includes community and retired ministers!)
CE grants are made on the basis of 1/3 of total program request to the UUA (to a maximum of $500 per church year). Applications should be made to the Ministerial Development Director.
In your message please include:
- a brief description and estimated total cost (travel, registration, food, etc.) for the program;
- an indication that the continuing education plans are supported by the congregation or institution that you serve and how the course will benefit your ministry; and
- the address to which a check should be sent.
In addition to the resources listed, feel free to contact the Ministerial Development Director to discuss additional opportunities that address your development interests.
