Student Awards and Scholarships

Many cultures are exhibiting growing distrust and suspicion of economics, profit, limited government, rule of law, and free markets. Given this, there is a significant need to redeem these concepts by relating them to theology, human dignity, and the principles of a free and virtuous society. To encourage such developments, the Acton Institute's scholarship programs support future religious, intellectual, and moral leaders who show potential in advancing understanding of this relationship. The Acton Institute offers two programs:

	Calihan Fellowships - Scholarships and travel grants open to all seminarians and graduate students studying theology, philosophy, economics, or related fields.
	Novak Award - $10,000 award for young scholars who demonstrate outstanding intellectual merit in advancing the understanding of theology's connection to human dignity, the importance of the rule of law, limited government, religious liberty, and economic freedom.
