We are excited to introduce our new 2025-2026 cohort of fellows and scholars. In addition to renewing financial support and personalized coaching for over 25 of our previously awarded scholars, we welcome the following into our community:
11 Child of LBIS/TLC Scholars (those with parents/grandparents who graduated or worked at LBIS/TLC).
2 Dave Ellingson Environmental Studies Scholars
10 Trinity Vocational Formation Fellows
As the 23 fellows and scholars begin their journey with Trinity and prepare for the upcoming academic year, we hold them in prayer. Please continue scrolling to learn more about them or visit our webpage.
In less than two weeks, we will launch the Trinity Vocational Formation Fellowship, when the 10 fellows will gather to explore their calling, community, and creation. We look forward to sharing more with you soon!
Consider donating and supporting us as we embark on a new, green growing season with the launch of the Trinity Vocational Formation Fellowship and continue our ongoing scholarships and coaching programs.
Blessings,
Ryan Ingersoll
Executive Director

"Receiving this scholarship from the college where my grandfather worked is especially meaningful. He was passionate about education and loved connecting with people, values that continue to inspire me. This award feels like a tribute to his legacy and a reminder that I’m walking a path he helped shape. I’m grateful for the support and proud to carry that legacy forward."
-Maggie Dobbins (granddaughter of Jon Olson).
"Receiving this award is so special to me because it reminds me of my dad's higher education and how I have the opportunity to join my family in going to college. This award will allow me to continue a legacy of education and knowledge in our family. This award means I can help lower the cost of college tuition and the amount my family and I have to pay. I am truly grateful for this opportunity and the donors that contributed to this award."
-Hannah Mueller (daughter of Peter Mueller).

"This award allows me to continue studying my passion of creation care and environmental studies with less worry about financial struggles. Because of this award, I feel more capable of achieving greatness in my studies and am confident in developing my academic skills."

Trinity Vocational Formation Fellows
"Becoming a Fellow is such an incredible privilege and blessing...I am excited for this opportunity to build intentional connections with fellows and coaches by reflecting on key topics like calling, community, and caring for creation. I appreciate that this fellowship has intentionally set aside time for an in-person retreat and continual fellowship, learning, and growth for the rest of the school year. Thank you, Trinity Education Foundation, and all the donors and people who support the foundation...through financial support, coaching, and prayer. I truly appreciate all that you do...so we can continue to grow more deeply in our understanding of vocation and how we are called to live as Christians in the world, glorifying Christ and serving humanity."
-Ashley Crawford
Infused by the spirit of TLC/LBIS, Trinity is boldly living out its calling to center students in an environment where we will cultivate our calling in community with curiosity to partner with others in caring for and co-creating our world.
