All priests and seminarians are invited to come and see how Life Teen strives to lead teens closer to Christ. Through the generosity of the Paul and Marge Wutz Foundation, Life Teen is pleased to offer the Shepherd’s Scholarship. This fund has been established to enable priests and seminarians who, due to financial constraints, would otherwise be unable to attend a Life Teen Training Conference. Priests and seminarians who have never attended a Life Teen Training Conference before and are implementing or seriously considering the Life Teen model of youth ministry for their parishes may apply for the Shepherd’s Scholarship. Life Teen fully realizes the tremendous demands on parish finances, and for this reason the scholarship covers conference fees, lodging, and airfare.

• To receive this scholarship, please register online for the conference here, and then fill out the application below along with your airfare and hotel receipts. Please fill the below application out once you have your hotel and airfare receipts ready for submission.You will receive your reimbursement check on the first day of the conference at check in.
• Priests and seminarians are only eligible for this scholarship if they have never attended a Life Teen Training Conference before. Returning priests always attend Life Teen conferences at no cost. The registration fee is automatically waived for priests and seminarians during the registration process. We are unfortunately unable to cover flight & accommodation costs for returning priests or seminarians.
• All priests attending the conference must submit a Letter of Good Standing. This can be emailed to eventsforms@lifeteen.com or mailed to the above address.
• We would love for all priests to concelebrate at the conference liturgies! We ask that you bring your own vestments (alb and stole of the proper liturgical color) for Mass and to assist with the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
• Please note that we will reimburse your full flight but will only reimburse you for your hotel registration for the nights during the conference. You are responsible for any additional nights. If you have any special situation of needing to come early/stay late, let us know and we will try to work with you.
• Please reach out to the Events Team at events@lifeteen.com or 800-809-3902 ext. 231 with any questions
• International flights will be reimbursed up to $800.
