Established in 1993, the program of the Henry Luce III Fellows in Theology supports the research of junior and senior scholars whose projects offer significant and innovative contributions to theological studies. The program seeks to foster excellence in theological scholarship, and to address the needs of the academy, communities of faith, and the wider society. The fellowship enables each Fellow to conduct year-long research in one of several areas of theological inquiry. In addition, Fellows present their findings at a yearly conference, and in both scholarly and popular journals.
The program is administered by the Association of Theological Schools, the accrediting and program agency for graduate theological education in the United States and Canada. Its 235 member institutions are Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant schools of theology, including freestanding seminaries and university-related divinity schools.
Full-time faculty members at ATS-accredited and candidate schools are eligible to apply. Each fellowship provides up to $75,000 of salary replacement and research funds during a sabbatical year. Applications for fellowships in 2010-2011 must be received in the office of the Association of Theological Schools by December 1, 2010.
Guidelines for Henry Luce III Fellows in Theology can be found at the Association for Theological Schools’ website (www.ats.edu). To request an application, please email your name, ATS school name, and preferred email address to grants@ats.edu. For additional information about this competitive program, please contact its administrator, Dr. Stephen Graham (phone: 412-788-6505, ext. 251, email: graham@ats.edu).
