The Rev. Dr. Lyle M. Adams Memorial Endowed Scholarship Fund has been established in honor of the ministry of Rev. Dr. Adams, who successfully promoted unity in Christ among believers historically divided by racial differences.

The purpose of this scholarship is to provide tuition assistance for African-American and other racial minority master’s students, who demonstrate financial need to complete their theological training. Recipients may be part or full-time students, enrolled in any master’s program, who are committed to pursuing a career of ministry upon graduation, preferably in the urban, inner-city, or disadvantaged community contexts.

“This journey has not been perfect, nor easy, but I plan on using this education to follow God’s call to continue supporting minorities with an outlet of grace, hope, and light. My family and I are amazed and very grateful for your gift. Thank you!” – Scholarship Recipient, 2018-2019
