Northwestern College Presidents Fund Scholarships
The NWC Alumni Society constitution states the purpose of our society: "The Northwestern College Alumni Society exists for fellowship purposes and to provide scholarships to students studying for WELS pastoral ministry at Martin Luther College in New Ulm, Minn."
Your gifts enable the NWC Alumni Society to carry out its stated purpose. As you consider how the Lord has blessed you—through your past education, through his gospel gifts, through the material assets God has showered on you—consider a generous gift. We encourage an annual gift of $25 to help cover expenses and mailing costs. Additional gifts go to the Presidents Fund for the scholarships. We are again planning to give twelve scholarships of at least $1,500 each. The giving form can be found here.
