The Lilly Graduate Fellows Program supports, during the course of their graduate education, exceptionally well qualified young men and women who have bachelor degrees from LFP Network Schools and who are interested in becoming teacher-scholars at church-related colleges and universities in the United States.
The Three Year Program:
Each year, the Lilly Graduate Fellows Program selects a cohort of 10 fellows who are entering Ph.D. or equivalent graduate programs in humanities and arts at schools of their choosing. The 2014-2017 Lilly Graduate Fellows will enter graduate school in the fall, 2014.
