Fellowships

The Maritain Center offers a variety of fellowships to support faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students. We are especially interested in fostering work inspired by the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas and Maritain’s own vision of “integral Christian humanism,” as well work as more broadly inspired by the great traditions of human reasoning in conversation with faith.
