High School Fellowship Program
Becoming a Fellow
Do you have an idea for an excursion? Do you want to start a Newman Forum club at your school? Have you participated in every Newman Forum event you could get your hands on?
You can be a Newman Forum Fellow
When you see “fellowship” in college, it typically means a short-term, paid or unpaid professional development opportunity. A fellowship is a group of people with a shared professional interest, and a specific amount of time is set aside (typically 1-2 years) to focus on work within that interest. (So yes: The Fellowship of the Ring IS a proper fellowship…)
High school fellowships are very rare; typically, fellowships are reserved for graduate students and post-doctoral professionals. So while a Newman Forum fellowship is a little different, it still looks AMAZING on a resume or college application!
What defines a Newman Forum Fellowship?
- Student commits to at least 1 full year of consistent Newman Forum participation
- Student takes on at least one additional leadership opportunity using their own creativity, like…
- Developing and leading a new excursion idea
- Starting a chapter of a Newman Forum club at their school or church
- Brainstorming an essay contest prompt
- Or whatever else your heart desires! If our programming makes you think, “I’d like to do ________,” send us an email!
