DEXCOM recently initiated a needs-based scholarship fund. The following points will help you understand what the fund is and how and when to apply.

GENERAL

Scholarships are for Central District people pursuing education toward licensed ministry or for development in approved non-licensed ministry.
All applicants must have a written endorsement from a licensed worker who is in the applicant’s church (preferably the applicant’s supervisor).
Scholarships will be awarded for District-approved programs (e.g. LEAD, ACLD, Westwood Theological Academy, Empower, etc.).
Funds will not be provided for college or graduate school degreed programs.
Only partial scholarships will be awarded (not 100% of the cost) and local churches are strongly encouraged to financially assist their students.
Scholarships will be granted for the time period of the program, but renewed annually to ensure the applicant is participating and passing the program.

LOGISTICS

DEXCOM will appoint a diverse Scholarship Committee to administer funding.
Scholarship applications will be available by January 1, 2024; the deadline for submission is March 31, 2024. (Applications submitted after March 31 will not be considered.)
The Scholarship Committee will review applications over the month of April and grant scholarships by May 1.
Scholarships will be awarded for the July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025 time period.
There will be a scholarship tab on the Central District website with more details by January 1, 2024.

Following the first year of this scholarship, DEXCOM will review the process and make adjustments if needed.

Central Connection

The Central Connection is a weekly email shared with Licensed Workers within the Central District with updates and news about what’s going on in the district. See below for the most recent Central Connections.
