Philosophy and Religion

Thanks to a bequest from Mabel L. Campbell, the Religion Program at Butler is in a position to offer financial support to Religion majors and minors to facilitate off-campus opportunities for intellectual or vocational development.  Activities that might qualify include:

     - travel to academic meetings;

     - travel to workshops (writers' conferences, etc.);

     - travel to pre-professional events, such as visit days at graduate schools or theological seminaries;

     - travel related to domestic or international service;   

     - conference fees and expenses connected with an approved event, in Indianapolis or out of town;

     - support for internships related to religion or social service (school year or summer);

     - support for study-abroad venues focused on religion;

- support for research expenses connected with an undergraduate thesis or independent study project;

- support for student-initiated and student-run workshops, seminars or teach-ins on the Butler campus.

Requests for support must be submitted in writing (typescript required).  Download an application form to apply for the Campbell Fund.

The Religion faculty will review proposals monthly from October 1 through April 1, on or shortly after the first of each month.  Applicants will be informed of the disposition of their application within two or three weeks. 

Support from the Campbell Fund is designated for majors and minors in Religion at Butler University.  Combined majors in Philosophy and Religion and students with a strong record of activism in the Center for Faith and Vocation are also eligible.
