The ARFORA/Martha Gavrila Scholarship for Women is a scholarship program that is designed to support women pursuing higher education in the fields of Orthodox Christian theology, ministry, and related fields. The scholarship is offered by the American Romanian Orthodox Youth (ARFORA), which is a youth organization affiliated with the Romanian Orthodox Archdiocese in the Americas.
The scholarship was established in honor of Martha Gavrila, a pioneering woman in the field of Orthodox Christian education and ministry. The scholarship is intended to support women who are following in Gavrila’s footsteps and who are committed to serving the Orthodox Christian community.
The scholarship award amount varies from year to year, and the number of scholarships awarded also varies based on the availability of funds. Applicants are evaluated based on their academic achievement, financial need, commitment to Orthodox Christian ministry, and potential for leadership in the Orthodox Christian community.
Applications for the ARFORA/Martha Gavrila Scholarship for Women are typically due in the spring, and scholarship awards are announced in the summer. Interested applicants can find more information on the ARFORA website or by contacting the organization directly.
