Kern Family Foundation MDiv Scholarships
The Kern Family Foundation of Waukesha, Wisconsin, was founded in 1998 with the goal of trying to improve the core moral and spiritual values in our society. The foundation believes that one of the ways to accomplish this goal is by assisting in the strengthening of our country's local churches. The foundation also believes that one of the main keys to the strength and success of any church is the ability, strength, and devotion of its pastor.
