Diocesan Press Service. February 27, 1970 [84-14]
NEW YORK, N. Y. -- Fourteen ordained clergymen have received fellowship grants totaling $63, 000 awarded by The Episcopal Church Foundation for advanced theological study during the 1970-1971 academic year.
William A. Coolidge, president of the Foundation, said that five of the fellowships went to first-time recipients, while nine were given for further work toward doctorates.
Since this program began in 1964, Mr. Coolidge said, more than $290,000 has been awarded to 37 outstanding scholars, most of whom were assisted during the entire period of their doctoral studies. The Foundation is a national organization of Episcopal laymen that initiates and underwrites projects supporting the work of the Church.
