The Maritain Fellows program of the Maritain Center is founded to provide fellowship and intellectual formation for students at the University of Notre Dame, Saint Mary's College, and Holy Cross College who wish to closely study and discuss fundamental questions in philosophy and related disciplines, particularly as informed by the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas and Jacques Maritain’s vision of “integral Christian humanism,” but also more broadly from the great traditions of reasoning in conversation with faith.
The Maritain Fellows bring leading scholars to campus for invited lectures and provide fellows with the opportunity to personally engage with the speakers through dinners, workshops, and seminars. Furthermore, the Maritain Fellows provide forums for discussion among students and faculty about key philosophical questions, facilitated both through formal academic events and informal social gatherings.
