About Murphy Scholars

The Murphy Scholars fellowship program is built upon the pillars of scholarship, development, and community. Murphy Scholars contribute to the institute's programming and may participate in special projects according to their academic focus and scholarly interest. The program also offers exclusive events for personal, professional, and spiritual development throughout the year.

Additionally, Murphy Scholars have the unique opportunity to be part of a community of peers from both the School of Law and Catholic Studies graduate program.

Compensation

The fellowship provides a $2,000 stipend ($1,000 per semester).

Eligibility

Students enrolled full-time in the JD, MA in Catholic Studies or JD/MA Joint Degree programs are eligible to apply. Students must also be in residence.
