The Office of Vocation & Ministry (OVM) at Hellenic College announces its Faculty Vocation Grants program for AY 2009–2010. Letters of inquiry are accepted on a rolling basis until May 15, 2010. Orthodox Christian faculty with a terminal degree in their chosen field (PhD, ThD) and all Hellenic College faculty may be eligible for awards up to $4000 in grant funding if full-time and up to $2000 if part-time or adjunct. Additionally, the OVM welcomes applications from doctoral students who have passed their comprehensive exams and can demonstrate that the project will relate to their dissertation topic.
