About This Scholarship

The Stoody-West Graduate Fellowship is a scholarship program that provides financial support to graduate students pursuing studies in the field of religious journalism. The fellowship is offered by the Religion News Foundation (RNF) and honors two distinguished religion journalists, Dr. Ralph Stoody and Dr. Arthur West.

The fellowship aims to encourage and support excellence in religious journalism by providing financial assistance to students who are pursuing advanced degrees in journalism, mass communication, or a related field with a focus on religion reporting. It is open to both U.S. and international students.

The fellowship award varies each year and is typically a one-time grant. The funds can be used to cover tuition, fees, books, research expenses, or other educational costs associated with the graduate program.
