About the Fellowship
The Text & Canon Institute Fellowship is a one-year scholarship and mentoring program for a student in the Phoenix Seminary ThM program who intends to pursue doctoral studies in Old or New Testament textual criticism, canon studies, or ancillary disciplines.
TCI Fellows work directly with the directors to implement the vision of the Text & Canon Institute and may participate with them in research, teaching, and other related duties. Fellows must have a previous Master of Divinity (MDiv) degree, must show a strong proficiency in the biblical languages, and must maintain a 3.5 GPA. Questions can be sent to the directors at tci@ps.edu.
Applications open each year on December 1 and close on June 1.
“I cannot recommend Phoenix Seminary, and especially the Text & Canon Institute, more highly. I hope always to be connected with their work. Anyone desiring to work in the fields of textual criticism or reception history, should consider this program.”
—Clark Bates, 2019 Fellow
