Fellowship Program and Scholarships

The Center for Faith and Culture is committed to reinvigorating student spiritual exploration at William Jewell College. In partnership with the College Chaplain, the Center created two scholarship opportunities through the Christian Fellows Program.

CHRISTIAN FELLOWS SCHOLARSHIP

The Center for Faith and Culture’s goal for the Fellows Program is to challenge students to examine what a life of flourishing might look like in relationship to their major, their profession and their life’s vocation. The program seeks to answer these questions: What claim does Jesus Christ make on my life? How can I respectfully and honestly dialogue with people of other faiths and traditions in a civil fashion? What can I learn from other Christians and even Interfaith traditions that will strengthen my own Christian faith?

The Christian Fellows Program will include small groups, study groups, service-learning, possible internships and partnerships with local congregations, and leading ministries including student-led worship opportunities. While these Fellowships are available for those considering ministry as a vocation, they are specifically designed for students who take their faith seriously, and who desire to integrate a life of faith into their life’s work, calling and career. All Fellows will pursue majors outside of the Center for Faith and Culture, but all Fellows will be expected to minor in our new Faith and Culture minor.

WORSHIP LEADER SCHOLARSHIP

Worship leaders will participate in our Christian Fellows program and help lead Jewell’s weekly student led worship service through music.* Applicants should have a strong academic resume and experience leading worship in their local church setting.

Auditions for this position are required and will take place through our music program. A letter of reference from an applicant’s pastor is strongly recommended.
