The one-year fellowship track is available to candidates applying to full-time* study in the Certificate in Theology and Health Care program or to one of the residential master’s degree programs (MDiv, MTS, ThM). The one-year track integrates intensive integration of theological study, spiritual formation, and theological reflection on practice. Fellows are introduced to foundational concepts in theology and church history through the courses required by their certificate or degree program and take at least two core courses focused on the intersection of theology and health care.
The one-year TMC Fellowship provides a tuition grant of up to $10,000 ($5,000 per semester for 2 semesters) in addition to other scholarships and financial aid available through the school. Click here for tuition and estimated expenses at Duke Divinity School.
