Roothbert Fund Scholarships
Based in New York City. “Scholarships may only be applied to study at an accredited institution based in the United States [Drew is accredited]. The Fund seeks candidates who are `motivated by spiritual values’, and works to foster fellowship among them. . . .While the Fund does not emphasize any particular form of religious practice or worship, it seeks to provide support to persons motivated by spiritual values. The Fund has awarded grants to persons entering a wide range of careers. However, preference will be given to those who can satisfy high scholastic requirements and are considering careers in education.”
