Hurlbert Fellowship for Contextual Ministry and Community Research
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Following the completion of the Miller Institute Undergraduate Fellowship, students are eligible to apply for additional funding to support an independent research project of their own design. This project may be undertaken in their home community, or another domestic or international context. Applicants will develop a particular research question focused on a pressing social issue (e.g., poverty, racial justice, healthcare accessibility, food insecurity, environmental degradation, spiritual care and mental health) they will investigate over the course of an academic year. They will investigate that question in conversation with a constellation of congregations, nonprofit organizations, and/or social institutions that will help support their research for the duration of the project. Applicants who are awarded this fellowship will participate in a fully-funded orientation and training facilitated by the Miller Institute that will prepare them for their year-long process of action-research, writing, and contextual engagement.
