An information session intended for students and mentors interested in learning more about the Multifaith Scholars program and its application process will be held on Feb. 27 at 5:30 p.m. in Moseley 217. The information session will be hosted by Amy Allocco, director of the program and associate professor of religious studies, and will also feature participation by two current Scholars. 

The Multifaith Scholars program is a two-year, closely mentored, experientially rich and academically rigorous educational opportunity for juniors and seniors who show great potential as intellectually curious and socially engaged multifaith leaders. Students apply in their sophomore year and begin the program in their junior year.

Scholarships provide $5,000 annually in the junior and senior year to support the personal and academic development of students of any major committed to developing a sophisticated knowledge about religious diversity and multifaith issues, interacting with local and global religious communities, and advancing a public intellectual project.

Applications for the Multifaith Scholars program are due on March 26, 2018 at 5 p.m. More information about the program and its eligibility requirements can be found online at https://www.elon.edu/u/academics/csrcs/multifaith-scholars/. Questions from interested students and mentors can be directed to Allocco at aallocco@elon.edu.
