NextGen scholarships support aspiring pastors and teachers

Through generous support from the North Pacific Union Conference, Walla Walla University is continuing to offer NextGen Scholarships, which combine with other funding sources to ensure that this year’s new theology and education students have 100% of their tuition covered.

After launching the innovative NextGen Pastor and NextGen Teacher scholarships in 2022, more than 35 new theology and education students were able to pursue their college goals at WWU.

“We have at least one couple where the husband is starting in our theology program as the wife is joining our education program. It’s great when a husband and wife can serve together as a ministry team in this way,” said Debbie Muthersbaugh, dean of the School of Education and Psychology.

Funding has been renewed this year to make $1 million in support available to the next generation of pastors and teachers.
