PhilD Lake Institute Faith and Giving Fellowship

Embedded within the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, Lake Institute on Faith & Giving fosters a deeper understanding of the dynamic relationship between faith and giving, through research, education, and public conversation. Lake Institute is proud to offer the PhilD Lake Institute Faith and Giving Fellowship that supports one $14,000 fellowship for the 2025-26 academic year for an a PhilD student whose Applied Research Project (ARP) and promise of future leadership focuses on issues at the intersection of faith and giving.

The PhilD Lake Institute Faith and Giving Fellowship may potentially be renewed for a second ($14,000) and third year ($10,000) on condition of continued academic good standing as well as demonstrating ongoing engagement on the issues at the intersection of faith and giving through their applied research and practical leadership.
