During each academic year, the Paul B. Henry Institute for the Study of Christianity and Politics offers a limited number of fellowships to Calvin College undergraduate students. Fellows may perform some designated administrative duties for the Henry Institute, participate in various Henry Institute events, and/or engage in research related to the study of Christianity and politics.

Each fellow receives a stipend of $500 per semester, for a maximum of four consecutive semesters. Fellows are expected to commit approximately 5 to 6 hours of work per week related to the assigned activities, projects, and research endeavors for each semester. Continuation of the stipend will depend upon satisfactory performance during the prior semester and the desire of the undergraduate to continue in the program.

Application for, and acceptance of, the Henry Institute’s Undergraduate Fellows will occur during the spring semester of each academic year. Second semester sophomores and juniors are eligible to apply to serve as follows during their junior and/or their senior year. Selection will be based on interest, skills, and ability to work with others.

For more information, or to obtain the preliminary application, contact the Director.
