The purpose of this initiative is to provide advanced education to seminarians so they can serve as theological resources, teachers and trainers in their home diocese after ordination.
Catholic Extension Society has partnered with Mundelein Seminary to offer scholarships to seminarians who intend to complete a Sacred Theology Licentiate (S.T.L.) at the conclusion of their seminary formation. The scholarship covers 100 percent of tuition, room and board for the four years of the student’s seminary education, as well as his fifth academic year, during which the newly ordained student completes his S.T.L. degree.
Students will be able to pursue their S.T.L. in one of these areas of concentration: Liturgy and Sacramental Theology, Christology, Doctrine of God, Theological Anthropology, and Theological Method.
Candidates for this program are men entering first-year theology who are academically capable of completing the S.T.L.
Duration: 5 years
Value to Participating Dioceses: $240,000 (Estimated, per seminarian)
