Doctor of Ministry Candidate

International students come to Fuller Theological Seminary with high expectations for themselves and what God will accomplish as a result of their advanced studies. Fuller Seminary shares these high expectations and believes our international students play a vital role in fulfilling the Great Commission, shining the light of Christ through their very lives into every corner of the globe.

These students include Rosamaría Maldonado, a third-year student from Mexico, who is pursuing a Doctor of Ministry degree. She came to Fuller planning to work during the summer months in order to meet her financial obligations as well as school loans. However, covering the cost of tuition continues to be a challenge.

"Last summer, I was unable to work because my mother and my older sister required my presence in Mexico due to their medical conditions," says Rosamaría. "My mother has Parkinson's disease and my sister had heart surgery. They both needed family support and I wanted to be near them. Consequently, I confronted a financial challenge, as I needed to pay my tuition."

As she continues to support her family and receive a Fuller education, Rosamaría has witnessed the blessing of people working together toward a bigger mission. She says, "I am grateful to witness God's provision through donors, who without knowing me readily offered their generous support through the Fuller scholarship program."
