About Scholarship
The two-year Louisville Institute Doctoral Fellowship invites current Ph.D. and Th.D. students in their first or second year of a doctoral program to consider theological education as a vocation. Preference will be given to students who demonstrate an interest in theological education as a vocation, who express an understanding of the current challenges and opportunities of theological education, and who articulate connections between their doctoral work and these trends and dynamics. The Louisville Institute understands theological education as encompassing the academic study and teaching of religion and its practices, as well as formation for ministry, leadership, social justice and public service, nonprofit and other agency work, etc. Applicants must be students in their first or second year of a Ph.D., Th.D., or pontifical S.T.D. program at an accredited graduate school in the United States or Canada. D.Min. students and others in non-research or practical degrees are not eligible. Applicants must also reside in the United States or Canada, and be U.S. or Canadian citizens or international students with an appropriate student visa to study in North America. Applicants must have at least two years remaining in their program at the time they apply. Those who have applied for but not yet started a doctoral program, or who are already writing their dissertations, are not eligible for this fellowship. Two letters of recommendation must be submitted, one should come from your faculty mentor or advisor who will be asked to assess your doctoral work thus far, your vocational interest in theological education, and your promise as a teacher and scholar and the other one should come from an academic mentor or colleague who can speak to your scholarly promise and assess the quality of your doctoral work and research. In addition, this recommender will be asked to comment on your personal qualities and commitments, including engagement with faith communities, if applicable. Please visit the fellowship's website for more information.
