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.
