Center Fellows

Student fellows with the Benne Center for Church & Society are challenged to explore meaningful questions about faith and learning. The prestigious fellowships begin in the fall semester and include:

  • Grant of $700 provided by the center
  • Opportunities to personally meet visiting speakers hosted by the center
  • Completion of a short, fall project, in consultation with center leaders, that contributes to the Benne Center's purpose. Examples of projects could include writing for a center publication or hosting an event.

Fellows also get first notice of possible conference travel scholarships and take part in Benne Center Suppers with staff and faculty to discuss faith and learning. They can request for their personal use up to $100 worth of books that are related to the center's purpose.
