The Russell Berrie Fellowship in Interreligious Studies is now accepting applications for the academic year 2014-15. The aim 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. Applicants of all faiths and backgrounds from around the world, including students currently enrolled at the Angelicum who have a demonstrated interest in Interreligious Studies, are encouraged to apply.

In order to be eligible to apply for the Fellowship, candidates must first prove that they have gained or are eligible to gain admission to the Licence or Certificate in Interreligious Studies Program at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum), in Rome. The award provides one year of financial support for Russell Berrie Fellows, covering tuition, a modest living stipend and book allowance, examination fees, and travel to and from the recipient’s home country.
