Financial Assistance

We believe that financial constraints should not prevent qualified leaders from participating. Thanks to the generous support of our sponsoring denominations, need-based financial assistance is available to help cover the Program Fee (CA$ 2,500 / US$ 1,800).

  • Eligibility: Assistance is granted based on demonstrated financial need and denominational representation.
  • Personal Commitment: Please note that financial assistance generally does not cover the Registration Fee (CA$ 200 / US$ 150) or personal travel expenses to Detroit and from Toronto. Applicants are encouraged to seek additional sponsorship from their home churches or academic institutions to cover these costs.
  • How to Apply: You can indicate your request for financial support directly on the Application Form.
