“You Are Worthy”: Apply for a Grand Canyon Synod Scholarship to the 2026 Triennial
The Grand Canyon Women of the ELCA are offering four scholarships to support participation in the Women of the ELCA Triennial Gathering, taking place July 16–19, 2026, in Des Moines, Iowa. If you would like to attend but financial constraints are a barrier, we encourage you to apply.
Each scholarship includes:
Full registration for the Triennial Gathering
$500 to be used toward travel, lodging, or other expenses related to attending
The Triennial Gathering brings together women from across the church for worship, learning, fellowship, and renewal. The 2026 theme, “You Are Worthy,” celebrates the ways the Holy Spirit is at work among women, calling us into deeper faith, leadership, and community.
Scholarship applications must be submitted by April 1, 2026.
Applicants will be notified of decisions by April 15, 2026.
We ask congregations to please spread the word—print and share the application with women in your community who may be interested.
For questions about the scholarship, contact Laura Krueger at lkrueger15@gmail.com.

If attending the Triennial Gathering has been on your heart but felt out of reach, this may be your opportunity. Check your calendar, apply by April 1, and consider joining sisters from around the world in Des Moines for this meaningful and Spirit-filled gathering.
