Fellowship Application

Applications Are Due on March 1 each year

The Wendland-Cook Program in Religion and Justice at Vanderbilt Divinity school offers fellowships for masters and doctoral students. Students should apply by March 1 of each year to be considered for next school year. Students can receive up to $2,000 per semester for their work with the program, working up to 10 hours per week.

Wendland-Cook fellowships are designed to support the research, pedagogical mission, and public engagement of the program and are selective and competitive.

Applicants need to demonstrate research interest in matters of religion and justice, with a focus on economic and ecological justice broadly conceived. Recipients are expected to enroll in the Religion and Economic Justice concentration at Vanderbilt Divinity School. They are strongly encouraged to take the course “Theology, Economics, and Labor” (DIV 6848) as early as possible during their course of study, as it is the foundational course for the Program.
