SPI exists to welcome theology home. We believe that theology done for the parish should be done in the parish. We also believe that advanced study in theology is still vital for on-going ministry in today’s quickly changing world. The Advanced Degree Fellowship will fund those called to scholar-priesthood into academic masters and doctoral programs.

The grant period will last four years. After a rigorous selection process, the Fellow will become a Junior Fellow of the Society of Scholar-Priests and attend the annual conference with the understanding that they will serve for a minimum of five years in full-time parochial ministry post-graduation. Special attention will be paid to Junior Fellows’ applications to the Parish Fellowship program.

Launch date: TBA
