THE GRISWOLD SCHOLARSHIP

The Institute on Religion in an Age of Science (IRAS) offers a partial scholar-ship for each annual Summer Conference to an individual over the age of 55 who is a first-time attendee to an IRAS conference.  The stipend currently covers only the recipient’s conference registration fee ($225 for an IRAS member; $325 for a non-member). Charges for conference room and board plus transportation must be paid by the recipient. 

This scholarship is in honor of IRAS member, Harlan Griswold, who became involved with IRAS in the late 1960s when he was in his fifties.  He was an active participant in IRAS and served on the Council for a number of terms.

Preference is given to individuals who are first-time attendees to the Summer Conferences and whose interests are congruent with the goals and purposes of IRAS. If you wish to apply, please complete this form and return it by April 10 with a completed registration form to: Marion Griswold, 46 Hastings St, Greenfield, MA  02402.

THE STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP

The Institute on Religion in an Age of Science (IRAS) offers up to three (3) student scholarships/assistantships for its annual Summer Conferences.  The stipend covers the Scholar’s registration fee, and room and board. Student scholarship recipients will be  responsible for their own transportation costs. In return, the Scholar is expected to assist the Conference Coordinator by performing certain essential tasks such as operating the sound/recording system, working on the conference daily newspaper or other tasks as required. The performance of this work will not interfere with the Scholar’s ability to attend any of the scheduled sessions of the Conference.

Preference is given to individuals who are currently pursuing a degree, are first time attendees to the IRAS Summer Conferences and whose interests are congruent with the goals and purpose of IRAS. The scholarship recipients will be determined by the IRAS Scholarship Committee in collaboration with the Conference Coordinator and the Conference Chairpersons.

THE SHAPLEY‑BOOTH FELLOWSHIP

In regular years, there are fellowships to honor the memory of the first two presidents of IRAS, the theologian Edward Prince Booth and the astronomer Harlow Shapley. However, application for these fellowships is not open for 2021, as they will be offered to those who had been selected for the postponed conference of 2020.
