The Lark Leadership Scholarship Program is designed to enhance the ministry and church leadership skills of persons serving African-American Mennonite Association (AAMA) congregations. This includes African-American and African-American integrated churches.

The program is named in honor of James and Rowena Lark, who were African-American Mennonite pioneers in urban missions.

The Lark Program is operated jointly by AAMA, the Mennonite Education Agency, and Eastern Mennonite University.

AAMA church leaders receive financial assistance to enroll in college-level courses which will enhance their ministry skills.

Students can enroll in a school in their home area, allowing them to remain active in the ministry of their congregation and immediately apply new learning.

The program emphasizes urban and Mennonite/Anabaptist perspectives.

By empowering leaders, the program also promotes development of AAMA Congregations.
