Scholarships for the 2025 C.S. Lewis Summer Institute are available for those who would not be able to attend the C.S. Lewis Summer Institute without assistance. Anyone with need can apply.
While everyone with need is welcome to apply, we do offer additional consideration is given to several groups including, but not limited to, students, artists, teaching faculty, those presenting papers in the academic roundtable, and those serving in ministry. However, scholarships are available to anyone in need.
The goal of our scholarships is to help supplement an individual’s own financial resources in cases of genuine need.
Scholarship funding is still available. The final deadline is May 15th, 2025.
Beginning March 16th, we will no longer have specific deadlines for pools of candidates, but will accept individual applications.
Please send all your materials before our final deadline to schevalier@cslewis.org
Scholarships apply only to the Admission/Tuition portion of the conference rate. Most scholarships will be awarded at levels of $550, $1120, and $1680 to be deducted from the tuition rate (In special circumstances, we may be able to offer up to $2100).
Due to funding restraints, hard costs, including transportation, meals, refreshments, and materials cannot be covered by scholarships (this means that a minimum of $574.00 (if given the full scholarship amount) would still need to be covered by the registrant towards the registration fee).
Process for applying for a scholarship:
- Register for the Summer Institute online when it is available and choose the “send check” option for your payment. (note: you won’t be paying through this system, but need to choose this payment option to complete the registration process)
- Next, submit the following to us:
- A letter describing your personal reasons for desiring to attend, what you hope to gain from your attendance, and the specific nature of your need. Also note which type of scholarship for which you are applying – a tuition grant or a work study scholarship (see below for details).
- A copy of your resume or C.V.
- Two letters of reference, preferably one personal and one professional.
- Our Scholarship Committee will review application materials and decide upon award amounts (see below for deadlines, decision timing, and related information).
- We will send you an email and a link to pay the remainder of your Registration Fee and Tuition (in the event that the amount of scholarship awarded proves to be inadequate to your needs and you decline the award, a full refund of your Registration Fee will be made if you let us know prior to June 1, 2025; after this date the fee is non-refundable).
