Euangelion
This from Jim West’s blog:
The ETS Executive Committee is pleased to announce the Annual Meeting Student Scholarship Program. This program is designed to help academically promising students who find participation in the Society economically prohibitive, or who come from a traditionally underrepresented group to get to know the Society, its functions, its leaders, and the role it plays in supporting conservative evangelical scholarship. The goal of the program is to encourage and support students, who might otherwise not participate in the Society, to appreciate the value of membership and the profitable part that it might play in their academic and ministry futures.
Scholarship recipients will receive a two-year benefit package

To be eligible for consideration, a student must meet the following criteria:
- The program is open to current M.Div., Th.M., or Ph.D. students working in biblical studies, theology or a related field.
- The applicant should have either an economic need which renders them unable to participate in the Society or should be part of an underrepresented group within the Society. While not limited exclusively to these groups, the Society membership has traditionally been underrepresented in terms of female, African-American, and Hispanic populations.
- The Society’s purpose is to foster conservative biblical scholarship. Applicants should be able to demonstrate academic promise which indicates likely ability to participate as an active member of the Society.
- Applicants should currently reside (school residence) within an 8-10 hour drive time of this year’s annual meeting venue, Milwaukee, WI.
- Applicants must not be related to any member of the Executive Committee or the Scholarship Program Selection Committee. Currently this includes: Eugene Merrill, Clint Arnold, Paul House, Gregg Allison, Robert Yarbrough, Hassell Bullock, Bruce Ware, Tom Schreiner and Michael Thigpen.
Full or associate members who want to nominate a student should send an email to director@etsjets.org that includes the following:
- Name and contact information for the nominee
- Description of the member’s relationship with the nominee
- Description of how the nominee fits the scholarship criteria
Nominations must be received by August 31, 2012.
