The Alfred Harlow Avery Scholar Search
Boston University School of Theology is conducting a search
for the third recipient of the Alfred Harlow Avery Scholarship
in Theology. Established in 1992 by the Arthur G. B. Metcalf
Foundation at Boston University, the Avery Scholarship is
awarded to one entering student at the School of Theology
in either the Master of Divinity or Doctor of Theology program
every three to four years. The Avery Scholarship, which amounts
to $25,000 per annum, is awarded on the basis of previous
academic distinction and an essay competition. The Scholarship
is used to attend Boston University School of Theology, and
helps the recipient meet the cost of tuition and fees, housing,
travel, books, and other educationally related expenses.
