Thomistic Institute Junior Fellowship Program for Recent College Grads

TI JUNIOR FELLOWS PROGRAM THE THOMISTIC INSTITUTE is now accepting applications for the Thomistic Institute Junior Fellows Program, a year-long fellowship designed for recent graduates who are motivated to help bring university students (and others) to engage the Catholic intellectual tradition and the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas while going deeper into that tradition themselves. Being a Junior Fellow is a full-time engagement with the Thomistic Institute and requires residency in Washington, D.C. Fellows take one for-credit M.A. class per semester at the DOMINICAN HOUSE OF STUDIES.

Conferences are in the works for 2020-21 at both...
