Resident Fellows
The Resident Fellows Program at Harvard Divinity School provides an opportunity for
sabbatical study for missionaries and for executives of denominations and religious
bodies who wish to be in residence at the School while on leave from their regular duties.
The program runs through a Harvard term, which includes approximately thirteen weeks
of classes, two weeks of reading period, and two weeks of examinations
(see the HDS academic calendar). Resident Fellows are
free to pursue their own programs of reflection and study in whatever way they desire;
there are courses available at the Divinity School,
in the wider University with its professional Schools,
and from the many schools in the
Boston Theological Institute. If Resident Fellows choose to take courses, they may audit them,
take them for a Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory grade, or take them for a letter grade. Resident
Fellows may organize their own curricula.
Resident Fellows are provided with many opportunities to learn, reflect, and converse with
students at the Divinity School, and are welcome to join faculty, students, and staff every
Tuesday for fellowship and conversation at Community Tea. They may also participate in the
worship life of the community by preaching, leading worship, singing in the choir, or
working on one of the special theme programs. Resident Fellows are encouraged to enter
into the academic and social life of the school as fully as their goals permit.
Resident Fellows receive a waiver of half the tuition charges for their semester in residence.
During the 2009-10 academic year, Resident Fellows pay $5,714 for their term in residence.
The application deadline for spring 2010 is October 31, 2009.
