Master of Arts in Religious Studies

Finances and Fellowships

Fellowships are offered through the Graduate School. Teaching assistantships which include a stipend and tuition remission are available, on a competitive basis, to both entering and advanced master's degree candidates.

George M. Landes Graduate Travel Fund
The George M. Landes Graduate Travel Fund was established to support travel expenses incurred by graduate students as part of their course of study. Typically, funds are allocated to help defray the costs of travel to conferences where students present papers, or of research trips to archives and field locations. Applications can be submitted at any time and should be directed to the Director of Graduate Studies. The size and number of disbursements depend on available funds and the number of pending applications. Decisions about awards from the travel fund are made collectively by the department’s faculty. The travel fund is made possible through the generosity of George Miller Landes, Davenport Professor Emeritus of Hebrew and the Cognate Languages, Union Theological Seminary, New York.

Community Service Scholarship
The department 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 (email: rsinfo@missouri.edu). A gift from Elizabeth MacKenzie allowed the department to establish this award.
