CBA Fellowships

[Note: This award program is temporarily suspended, but will hopefully be restored in the future.]

Two post-doctoral fellowships are awarded annually. The purpose is to give both recent graduates and mature scholars the opportunity to continue their studies at another center of learning and/or do research for publication. A stipend of $20,000 plus travel to and from the city of the institution chosen will be awarded to each fellow.

The conditions for application are as follows:

• Applicants must be active or associate members of the CBA.
• They must have received the doctorate.
• They must show promise of making a genuine contribution to biblical scholarship.
• They must be in financial need.
• They must present a feasible and worth-while academic project, involving a minimum of six months full-time work.
• These awards cannot be held in conjunction with another/other major award(s), e.g., the Fulbright.
• Applications do not carry over from year to year but may be resubmitted.

The application deadline December 1. Application forms for CBA Fellowships may be requested from:
