Named Scholarships
The foundation awards 6 scholarships to established women scholars who are pursuing research and publication in religion. Please note that preference is given to scholarship that is presented in a public forum that reaches as broad an audience as possible. We encourage applications from women writing articles for publication in popular media, journals, and for presentation at professional meetings. All work must be a substantial contribution to the public debate.
The Scholarship Selection committee may choose to split one award among two deserving applicants if the requested or required amount of support falls below the offered amount.
