Application Date and Process
- Applicants will need to create an account with an active email address in the application portal. The application will require the following:
- A short resume (no more than 2 pages) uploaded as a Word or PDF document
- Responses to the following 3 questions, which you will cut and paste into the appropriate fields in the application form. Please ensure that your essays are personal and include specific examples of your leadership. Generic responses without personal examples are less competitive.
- Biographical Profile: Please include a short biographical profile of 100 words or less. This is the type of profile included for staff websites or conference attendees. If you are selected as a Trinity Leadership Fellow, this profile will be used publicly so only include details that you're comfortable sharing with a wider audience. Please visit the Trinity Leadership Fellows website to see examples.
- Short-answer question: In 200 words or less, please describe a personal and specific instance when you supported or led a group of people (a congregation, a group of employees or co-workers, a group of volunteers) through an effort to address a challenge, create something new, or build on an opportunity. The focus should be on your role, your interpersonal skills, and your faith as elements in the success of the endeavor.
- Essay question: In an essay of fewer than 500 words (referring to but not repeating in full the story above), describe your personal leadership journey as shaped by your faith. The following questions can inform your response: What aspects of your faith motivate you to lead? How does your faith shape your interpersonal skills and the ways you work with others to set and achieve common goals? What have you sacrificed or minimized to stay true to your faith in leadership roles? What aspect of your faith or values makes you an effective leader? Your responses must be grounded in specific personal examples from your work, volunteer work, and/or ministry. They should be examples that you think your references will also note. Please conclude your essay with 2-3 sentences describing what you hope to bring to and take away from the Trinity Leadership Fellows experience and how you hope to grow throughout the fellowship.
We strongly discourage the use of Artificial Intelligence (tools like ChatGPT and others) to write essays as those responses tend to be impersonal and will make the application less competitive.
