Fellowships

Fellowships in amounts ranging from five to fifteen thousand dollars each will be awarded for use during the 2005-06 academic year in support of research projects concerned with, or drawing on, the thought of Bernard J. F. Lonergan, S.J.

Preference in the awarding of these Fellowships will be given to scholars who have earned the PH.D., or a similar advanced degree, and who will be able to be in residence at Boston College for one or two semesters. Due to the generosity of Fr. William Leahy, President of Boston College, the Lonergan Institute now has a house next to campus to accommodate visiting scholars. Thus, in addition to the stipend, the Lonergan Institute is able to offer housing on campus in which to live and work with other scholars.

Applicants for the Lonergan Fellowships should prepare a dossier that includes (1) a curriculum vitae, (2) a letter of recommendation from an established scholar acquainted with the applicant’s qualifications and work, and (3) a proposal outlining in approximately five hundred words the project of research and/or writing which the applicant expects to pursue, its relation to Lonergan’s philosophy, theology, or economics, and the resources at Boston College on which it will draw.

These documents should be sent not later than January 15 to:

Lonergan Institute
Bapst Library
Boston College
Chestnut Hill, MA 02467

Inquiries about the Fellowships should be sent to Joseph Flanagan, S.J., Director of the Lonergan Institute, Boston College. Decisions will be announced by March 1.
