Interfaith Scholars
The Interfaith Scholars are students who commit to sustained conversation with students of religions and/or worldviews that are different from their own.
Interfaith Scholars 2025-26
The Interfaith Scholars at Vanderbilt commit to meeting weekly for a period of time during the fall and spring semesters to learn from each other and to build bridges across lines of difference through civil dialogue.
The Scholars use curriculum from Interfaith America, case studies from the Harvard Pluralism Project, and engage in dialogue with each other. Each student receives a $400 stipend at the end of the fall and spring semesters (pending approval from the Financial Aid Office).
