Perkins Scholarship Luncheon: Public Life, Personal Faith

The Perkins Scholarship Luncheon is an annual fundraising event that brings together alumni, church leaders, friends and supporters to invest in the next generation of faithful leaders. Since its inaugural luncheon in 2010, the event has raised vital scholarship support for students at Perkins School of Theology, helping remove financial barriers for those preparing to serve the church and the world. 

Each year, the luncheon celebrates the mission and impact of Perkins through inspiring stories, meaningful fellowship and opportunities to support theological education. Gifts made through the Perkins Scholarship Luncheon benefit student scholarships, empowering future pastors, chaplains, nonprofit leaders, educators and scholars to pursue their calling. 

Whether attending as a guest, sponsoring the event or making a gift, participants play a vital role in strengthening the future of theological education and ministry through the life-changing impact of scholarships.
