The National Council of Schools of Religion has announced the establishment of The National Fellowships in Religion. For the year 1924-25, the sum of $20,000 a year is available.
The object of these fellowships is primarily to train a carefully selected group of the ablest graduates of our American colleges and universities to teach religion in the schools of religion to be established in connection with certain state university centers. In addition, these fellowships are intended to meet in part the insistent demand in our higher institutions of learning for efficient teachers in the various fields of religion.
The fellowships will be assigned each year. Ordinarily the maximum amount assigned will not exceed $1600 for a married man or $1200 for a single man.
Each fellow will be encouraged and aided in choosing the field for which his abilities, interests and previous training and experience best fit him. He will be expected and aided, if he manifests the required energy and ability to complete his work for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy or its equivalent.
Inquiries concerning these fellowships should be addressed to Charles Foster Kent, General Secretary, Council of Schools of Religion, 77 West Washington Street, Chicago, Illinois.
