Alma Eymann Seminary Scholarship

The Alma Eymann Seminary Scholarship was founded in 2014 to support students a Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary (AMBS) as they prepare for ministry and leadership in the church.

In keeping with the intent of the fund, priority consideration may be given to applicants who meet one or more of the following criteria:

All qualified students are eligible to apply and will be considered. When applicants do not meet the preferred criteria, the scholarship may be awarded to other students who demonstrate financial need and alignment with the purposes of the fund.

As of June 30, 2025, the scholarship's market value was $62,288. The earnings are paid out annually to cover approximately 21% of tuition.

More about Alma

When Alma Eymann died, she gave money to Meadows Mennonite Church in Chenoa, IL, in her will, and the congregation chose to give to church institutions in the form of student scholarships. The church's decision may well have been influenced by Alma's family's dedication to AMBS. Alma's sister was Emma Bertsche; Emma's children include John A & Evelyn Bertsche, Paul & June Bertsche, and Adele & LaMar Reichert. When Emma passed away, her children added funds from her estate to this scholarship fund.
