Fellowship Application

Applications Are Due on January 31st each year

The Wendland-Cook Program in Religion and Justice at Vanderbilt Divinity school provides fellowships for masters and doctoral students. Students should apply by January 31st of each year to be considered for next school year. Each basic award is $500 per semester, and students can receive up to $2,000 per semester for their work with the program. We also will provide financial support for approved Field Education placements for fellowship recipients if these placements correspond with the goals of the Program.

Applicants need to demonstrate interest in matters of religion and justice, with a focus on economic and ecological justice broadly conceived. Recipients are expected to enroll in the 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.
