Hispanic Scholars Program

OTHER PROGRAMS:Through Hispanic Eyes (T.H.E.)Through Hispanic Eyes (T.H.E.) is a cross-cultural program created over a decade ago to help expand the reach and impact of the Hispanic Scholars Program as a program of theological education that is shaped by a truly Latino/Hispanic perspective. While the Hispanic Scholars Program sessions held each year are primarily for first degree masters level Latina/o students enrolled in ATS schools, T.H.E. seeks to engageand gather in constructive and critical conversation non-Latino seminary presidents, academic deans, faculty, as well as those very important staff members who work with students, admissions officers and student life directors.

El SemilleroEl Semillero was offered for the third time in FY 2024 and 6 participants attended. Latinx practitioners were invited to learn about the soil of fundraising, finance, and development so that they can grow their missional organizationswhether they be churches, non-profits, or institutions of higher and theological educationin ways that are economically sustainable and can, as a result, provide a greater impact for their communities of concern. Through El Semillero we hope to empower our Latinx theological leaders with practical tools that will help them build sustainable and equitable institutions that can positively impact the Latinx community for generations to come.
