Richard Mouw Faith and Public Life Scholarship

Overview

The Mouw scholarship is available to incoming Fuller PhD students working at the intersection of Reformed theology and public life in the fields of psychology, missiology, and theology. Scholarships provide $50,000 per year toward tuition, books, materials, housing, etc. Scholarships last for up to five years in the field of psychology and four years in the fields of theology and missiology.

The model for these scholarships is the public theological leadership of Richard Mouw, president emeritus and senior professor. Mouw’s research and writing focused on the intersection of Reformed theology and public life. Applicants can learn more about Mouw’s legacy in Reformed public theology on the Mouw Institute website.

The scholarship will be awarded to select PhD students whose trajectory of life and service will lead them to make a scholarly commitment to Christian reflection and engagement in public life. Successful applicants will describe how their research interests and sense of academic vocation intersect with the public witness of the global church and the Reformed theological tradition.

Recipients of this scholarship are expected to participate in the Mouw Fellows, a regular colloquium of doctoral students within the Mouw Institute of Faith and Public Life who are working in the field of public theology.
