Bannan Fellowships

Please note:  Bannan Fellowship application criteria are currently undergoing revision, and applications are no longer being accepted for the 2012-2013 award year.  Please check back periodically for updates on future Bannan Fellowship possibilities.

The purpose of this fellowship program is to encourage scholarly activity and to enrich the intellectual life of Santa Clara University precisely as a Catholic, Jesuit University. Bannan Fellows are persons who spend one, two, or three quarters on campus at Santa Clara as the guest of a University Department. In collaboration with other units of the University, they engage in teaching, research, and/or other educational activities, in an area related to the mission of the Ignatian Center's Bannan Institute. The hosting department, with the agreement of the Bannan Institute, will determine the activities of any particular Fellow.

The Bannan Fellowship is open to faculty and staff not currently employed at Santa Clara University, and preference is given to first-time applicants. We encourage projects that are designed to enrich the campus climate of Santa Clara University in academic endeavors or endeavors such as student leadership, campus spiritual life, service learning, and multi-cultural diversity.
