Are You Preparing for Ministry as a Military Chaplain?
One way the Military Chaplains Association “speaks with a professional voice” is through support for training the next generation of chaplains. Each year, we provide financial assistance to several seminary students who are currently serving as chaplain candidates in the Air Force, Army, or Navy.
The MCA Chaplain Candidate Scholarship Program was established in 1992. Funding for this program comes from donations provided through the Emerson Fund.
Eligibility Requirements:
- Full time enrollment in an accredited seminary.
- Ecclesiastical endorsement for service as a military chaplain.

Thank you for your preparation to serve the spiritual needs of Warriors and their families!
