Hall of Fame: Scholarship and Award Descriptions

Chapman Scholars in Religion
Each year the department gives two $250 awards to majors for their accomplishments in the study of religion and their contributions to the program in Religious Studies. These awards have been made possible by a gift to the department from Dr. Charles L. and Paula Chapman.

The Community Service Scholarship
The department also awards one or two $250 scholarships each year to students who have demonstrated a commitment to public service. Majors, minors, and masters degree students are eligible. Nomination forms are available at the department office. A gift from Elizabeth MacKenzie in honor of her father allowed the department to establish this award.

Landes Scholarship
The Landes Scholarships are awarded to students in the department's MA program who demonstrate ability and excellence in their studies. The scholarship is made possible through the generosity of George Miller Landes, Davenport Professor Emeritus of Hebrew and the Cognate Languages, Union Theological Seminary, New York.
