Upcoming Award Deadlines

All or Multiple Disciplines

John Jay Fellows Program- Deadline: September 28 for Spring 2019 . A semester-long, fully-funded, fellowship-in-residence at our campus in Langhorne, Pennsylvania. Fellows grapple with readings and topics from interdisciplinary studies in theology, philosophy, ethics, history, politics, culture, and jurisprudence. The John Jay fellowship program is intended to prepare Fellows for careers in public service, whether they take shape in the public, non-profit, or for-profit spheres.

Fellows come to the John Jay Institute to develop a vision for flourishing human societies, and receive the intellectual, spiritual, and professional training to make them effective leaders for such societies. And they leave as members of a professional fraternity of alumni that facilitates their strategic placement, continued growth, and lasting impact on American culture. 

Applicants compete for limited seats each semester. Criteria for selection are based upon demonstrated Christian commitment and leadership potential. Candidates for admission should be well-rounded in general knowledge and experience, have completed college (some have advanced degrees), have maintained a 3.0 or better (on a 4.0 scale) grade point average, and have strong abilities in oral and written communication
