Global Ministries is in partnership with educational institutions in many countries. Many of these institutions were originally founded by UCC or Disciples mission co-workers, or by those of their predecessor denominations. Today, these educational institutions are providing quality education to national and International students from the US. In addition to study at an existing educational institutions, many Disciple and UCC members participate in study/travel opportunities and learning experiences throughout the world. The Common Global Ministries Board has some funds available to provide scholarships for those who want to participate in global education programs such as those listed.
