MDC is honoured to establish a new endowed scholarship award, thanks to a generous gift of $50,000 from a donor. The Cornerstone Academic Achievement Award in Counselling and Spiritual Care was created to support and encourage students pursuing studies in Christian counselling and spiritual care.
The award will be granted to full-time program students enrolled in either the Master of Arts in Counselling and Spiritual Care program or the Master of Divinity program with a specialization in Counselling and Spiritual Care. Recipients must demonstrate both academic excellence and personal aptitude for ministry as a Christian psychotherapist, spiritual care provider, or counsellor either in a church or Christian charity organization.
The Counselling and Spiritual Care programs at MDC were born out of a desire to see an increased impact for the church and surrounding culture and society by increasing the number of highly competent Christian psychotherapists and spiritual care providers who are equipped to handle difficult theological and spiritual issues with sensitivity and able to guide and counsel individuals and couples regarding their values and their spirituality. We would like to express our gratitude to this donor for the new opportunities this will present for our students, churches, and communities.
