campus, online, and on location. That number includes Spanish immersion students and students who took more than one course. Here, we’d like to highlight the grad studies and continuing ed numbers, which are a tribute to WELS teachers’ dedication to their ministries and their Lord:

  • 437 GSCE students enrolled online
  • 328 GSCE students enrolled on location
    (30 courses hosted by 20 cities in 10 states)
  • 54 GSCE students enrolled on campus

Thank You, Congregational Partners

/in /by

The Congregational Partner Grant Program (CPGP) continues to make a big difference in the lives of our students.
For the 2018-2019 school year, 457 students from 235 congregations received grants from their congregations totaling $375,430. MLC then matched these grants.

If you’d like to support your congregation members studying at MLC, please apply! Applications for the 2019-2020 school year will be accepted until June 3, 2019.

If you do not have any MLC students in your congregation, you can still participate. You can be the match! Your gift will be used to match other congregations’ gifts to MLC for their members.
