As we congratulate 46 SIM recipients now graduating and welcome them into our family of over 2700 alumni, another 99 recipients from 53 dioceses were approved for 2011/2012 grants at Tuesday's
Annual Meeting of SIM's Board of Directors. These are not insignificant numbers. The number of graduating seniors supported by SIM represents over 30 % of this year's class of graduating Episcopal seminarians. The percentage of the 2011/2012 middlers and seniors supported by SIM may be as high as 35% of those classes of Episcopal seminarians.
Please join SIM in praying for blessings upon the ministries of our graduating seniors:

SIM's Scholarship Committee May 2011 - Hard at work!
SIM's support for next year's class, our 154th, represents investments in a significant portion of Episcopal seminarians, the future ordained leaders to serve The Episcopal Church. Though important in number and very meaningful to our seminarians, our average grants cover only a small portion of seminarians' theological education costs.
You can make a difference in our average grant size and in the lives of future ordained leaders of The Episcopal Church by joining the $18.57 Circle of Seminarians Friends at any level. Together we can solve the issue of funding theological education in The Episcopal Church.
All Episcopalians are blessed by the continued growth of Episcopal seminarians in their Christian faith and their journeys toward being well educated, well trained and well formed Episcopal priests.
Faithfully yours,
Rev. Dr. Richard F. Tombaugh
Chairman of the Board
Greetings!
