I wouldn\u2019t be completing my seminary education at Luther without the Jubilee Scholarship. Donors have made it financially possible for my formation to continue\u2014without me having to take out loans to fund this education. Their generosity allows me to focus on my studies and practice pastoral care. I am so grateful, thank you!<\/span><\/p>\n
