Fellowships
- Schubert M. Ogden Fellowship for Academic
Excellence in Theology
-
The Schubert M. Ogden Fellowship for Academic
Excellence in Theology is a dissertation fellowship. It is awarded
each year to the student who, in the judgment of the Steering
Committee of the Graduate Program in Religious Studies, best
exemplifies academic excellence and shows the greatest promise of
significant contribution to the field in general and to his or her
sub-field in particular. Students who have completed their field
examinations and whose dissertation proposals have been approved are
eligible for the award. The award is based on the quality of the
student's overall record in the Graduate Program in Religious
Studies and on the promise shown by the student's dissertation
proposal. In the event that no students meet the requirements of
eligibility or satisfy the criteria of selection in a given year, no
fellowship will be awarded.
If available funds permit, Ogden Fellowships may
be awarded to more than one student. The Ogden Fellowship may be
awarded to the same student for a second year if, in the judgment of
the Steering Committee, that student continues to be the one who
shows the greatest promise of significant contribution to the field
and to his or her sub-field. But no student shall hold the
fellowship for more than two years.
Students in the GPRS may be eligible for one of these fellowships
offered by Perkins School of Theology.
The John Hicks
Fellowship
The John Hicks
Fellowship was established in memory of Professor John Hicks,
former teacher of the Old Testament at Perkins School of
Theology. The fellowship is offered to support research in the
broad area of biblical studies and is especially concerned to
provide travel to the Bible lands to aid that research. The
fellowship is open to any qualified student enrolled in a degree
program in Perkins (M.Div., C.M.M., M.T.S., M.S.M., D.Min.) or
the Graduate Program in Religious Studies (M.A., Ph.D.). The
deadline for applications is December 15 or six months prior to
the beginning of the project, whichever comes first. The maximum
award is ordinarily $2,500. Inquiries should be addressed to any
member of the biblical faculty or the Associate Dean for
Academic Affairs.
The John M. Moore Fellowships
In 1946 the late Bishop John M. Moore
established a fellowship fund, the income from which was to be used
to give aid for postgraduate work in theology to United Methodist
graduates of the theological schools of The United Methodist Church,
with preference given to graduates of Perkins. The fellowship is for
one year with stipends ranging from $2,000 to $8,500. The committee
and the directorate base their judgments on academic
accomplishments, promise of teaching and research ability, and
Christian character. Those seniors and recent graduates who wish to
be considered must submit their applications by March 1 to the
Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, Perkins School of Theology.
Information concerning the proper way to make application should be
sought in ample time to fulfill all the requirements.
