The process consists of a thorough application with references and academic transcripts, which is reviewed by the Leader Studies committee who make final selections. That committee consists of board members, including the academic and theological leaders listed on the board. Scholar Leaders typically offers grants to less than 15% of all applicants. All selected scholars must sign a four-way Covenant stating their commitment to service to the church in the majority world after graduation. During their studies, academic monitoring is maintained through semi-annual reviews, interviews and reports by their academic mentors. Whenever possible, grants are disbursed through the school at which the scholar is pursuing his/her degree. International wire transfers are facilitated by American Express International payments.
