The William Gilbert and Florence Leonard Jones Scholarship is given annually to a full-time student pursuing the degree of Doctor of Philosophy who is either preparing for ordination in, or already ordained in, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), and intends to provide leadership to a congregation or other agency of the church. Established through an endowment gift by an anonymous donor, this award aims to recognize and encourage outstanding Disciples preparing for ministry. It also provides a scholarship of $2,000.

The Ann E. Dickerson Scholarships are for female members of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) working toward the Ph.D. degree in religion studies. Each Dickerson Scholarship recipient will receive $2,000 for her ongoing education. A special Higher Education and Leadership Ministries fund supports Dickerson Scholarship, which honors former HELM Board member Ann E. Dickerson.
