Gathering and Supporting Latter-day Saint Religion Scholars

Becoming Disciple-Scholars gathers and supports members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints studying religion across disciplines and universities.

Our regular online events foster meaningful friendships while providing uplifting spiritual, academic, social, and professional support. Scholarship is just more fun with friends!

Welcome to a community striving to combine study and faith.
