The Pine Hill Alumni Campbell-Carmichael
TravelLing Fellowship
Pine Hill Divinity Hall, in conjunction with the United
Church Faculty Group of Atlantic School of Theology, offers a fellowship once
every three years to assist United Church of Canada graduates of Pine Hill
Divinity Hall and Atlantic School of Theology in pursuing advanced,
post-graduate theological studies. The fellowship is intended to allow
successful applicants to enroll at recognized institutions of learning other
than Atlantic School of Theology. It permits for studies on a full-time or
part-time basis but requires normal registration at the chosen institution.
The award is valued at $7,500 (Canadian).
Applications are invited through the Secretary of the
Board of Governors of Pine Hill Divinity Hall. The United Church Faculty
Group will screen and assess the applications received and do so in
conjunction with the Bursary committee of Pine Hill Divinity Hall. The
decision to award the fellowship is based on three aspects:
1.
the seriousness and viability of the applicant’s
proposal for study to be undertaken
2.
the applicant’s previous academic record
3.
the expected contribution the proposed study is to make
to the life and work of the church. (A brief essay on how the study is to
benefit the church’s ministry is to accompany the application.)
Successful applicants who undertake full-time studies
will receive the full award at the outset of their studies (upon certification
of registration). Those whose studies are pursued on a part-time basis will
be awarded the funds in installments based on the length of the program of
studies (and upon certification of registration).
The deadline for applications is February 1st, in the
years when the fellowship is awarded. The decision will be announced on the
following September 1st. The successful applicant shall begin the
program of studies in the academic year following the announcement of the
award.
The United Church of Canada graduates of the Master of
Theological Studies Program are eligible to apply for the fellowship. In
addition to the requirements for application stated above, they also need to
certify that they have met the stated criteria for admission into the chosen
program of the institution (such as the preliminary year of a Ph.D. program.)
Preference will be given to those already admitted to the program of
choice.
It is proposed that the next award of the
Campbell-Carmichael fellowship be for the academic year 2009-2010, and that
the deadline for that application be February 1, 2009.
Applications should be submitted to: Secretary to the
Board, Pine Hill Divinity Hall,
Room 124, 660 Franklyn Street, Halifax, Nova Scotia, B3H 3B5.
