Call for Applications: Russell Berrie Fellowship in Interreligious Studies

Application Deadline: March 30, 2012

The Russell Berrie Fellowship Program is pleased to announce the opening of the call for applications for the academic year 2012-13. Application materials for this cycle are available now. The application deadline is March 30, 2012.

The Fellowship offers members of the clergy, religious orders, and the laity an opportunity to study at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum) in Rome to obtain a License or Doctoral Degree with a concentration in interreligious studies. The award provides one year of financial support for up to ten new Russell Berrie Fellows. It is intended to cover tuition, a modest living stipend and book allowance, examination fees, and travel to and from the recipient's home country.

The aim of the Fellowship Program is to build bridges between Christian, Jewish, and other religious traditions by providing the next generation of religious leaders with a comprehensive understanding of and dedication to interfaith issues. Applicants of all faiths and backgrounds from around the world—including students currently enrolled at the Angelicum—who have a demonstrated interest in interreligious studies, are encouraged to apply.
