The Russell Berrie Fellowship in Interreligious Studies
What is the Russell Berrie Fellowship in Interreligious Studies?
The Russell Berrie Fellowship targets priests, women religious, and members of the laity for the purpose of studying at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum) to obtain a Licence or a Doctorate Degree in Theology, as well as a Diploma in Interreligious Studies. This program is an initiative of the John Paul II Center for Interreligious Dialogue at the Angelicum. The goal of the Fellowship Program is to build bridges between Christian, Jewish, and other religious traditions by providing the next generation of religious leaders with a comprehensive understanding of and dedication to interfaith issues.
What is included?
The award will provide one year of financial support for Russell Berrie Fellows to pursue a Licence or a Doctorate Degree, as well as a Diploma in Interreligious Studies at the Angelicum. It is intended to cover tuition, a modest living stipend, examination fees, a modest book allowance, and travel to and from the recipient's home country once a year.
