Overview
Mennonite Mission Network partners with UBS in several ways. Mission Network facilitates Mennonite professors from abroad to serve on campus for short teaching assignments. Mission Network also provides direct scholarships for Indian Mennonite students, as well as coordinating scholarships by Mennonite Women, and scholarships established by North American agencies that are administered locally. Finally, Mennonite Mission Network participates in the North America-based Friends of Union Biblical Seminary, a network of agencies and individuals that receives contributions and helps promote the seminary among old and new friends of the school.

History
Several Western missions joined together in 1953 to create a new interdenominational seminary for northern India. Initially located in Yeotmal, Madhya Pradesh, the institution moved in 1983 to its current home in Pune, a vibrant city near Mumbai. UBS maintains a reputation as India’s premier evangelical seminary thanks to an abiding focus on mission studies, and expectation that all students and faculty will be involved in active mission outreach.
