Postdoctoral Fellowship

The Office of Research and Grants (ORG) and the College of Doctoral Studies (CDS) offer a postdoctoral fellowship for CDS alumni who graduated within three years and are involved in Christian K-12 education. Each year, the Christian School Management Foundation (CSM) awards $4,000 to 1–2 fellows for research in this field. The competitive process includes summer workshops, coaching, and manuscript submission. Fellows are selected in August and begin research in September.
