About The MLS Foundation
Supporting Christian Education
The MLS Foundation was established in 2001 as a 501(c)(3) public charity to assist high school students financially as they train for the public ministry. The foundation also assists Michigan Lutheran Seminary by funding special programs and projects, underwriting non-budgeted items for the school, supporting international cross-cultural programs, and providing scholarships to Martin Luther College.
