First Book of Minority Scholars Program
The Louisville Institute’s FIRST BOOK GRANT PROGRAM FOR MINORITY SCHOLARS seeks to assist junior, non-tenured religion scholars of color to complete a major research and book project, focusing on some issue pertaining to American Christianity related to the priorities of the Louisville Institute.
