Fellowships for Latino/a, Asian, and First Nations Doctoral Student

ORGANIZATION

Forum for Theological Exploration (FTE)

PROGRAM

Doctoral Fellowship

DESCRIPTION

The main goal of this grant is to give financial help to doctoral students of color so they can focus entirely on writing their dissertations. This is meant to increase the number of diverse teachers and scholars at theological schools and universities. It does not fund students in the Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) program. Fellows also receive an extra benefit: they get to attend a special event called the FTE Forum for Theological Educators for networking and career help.

ELIGIBILITY

To qualify, you must be a doctoral student who meets all the following criteria:

– You must be of African, Latino/a, Asian, or First Nations descent.
– You must be pursuing a Ph.D. or Th.D. degree in religious, theological, or biblical studies.
– You must be enrolled full-time at an accredited institution in the United States or Canada.
– Crucially, you must have finished all your required classes and be at the dissertation writing stage.

AMOUNT

Up to $30,000
