Please note: We are not currently taking applications for the ASCH Research Fellowships in 2024, but will take applications and award them again in 2025.
John F. Wilson Research Fellowship
The American Society of Church History (ASCH) is now accepting applications from its graduate student members for the John F. Wilson Research Fellowship, which carries a monetary amount of $1000. Endowed by Wilson’s former students, this fellowship gives priority to projects reflecting the interests and work of their professor: the religious and intellectual life in the American colonies, the relationship between church and state, and religion in contemporary America.
To apply:

1. A letter of no more than 500 words including:
