Grants

The Maritain Center offers a variety of grants and fellowships to support research and study into the perennial questions of human existence. 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.
