Newman Scholarship Program
The National Institute for Newman Studies fosters the advancement of Newman scholarly research by inviting scholars to utilize the resources of the Newman Research Library in order to pursue academic work specifically related to Newman Studies.
Residential and study space is provided for scholars at the Gailliot Center for Newman Studies in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Financial support is offered in the form of a stipend upon completion of the research project. The Gailliot Center can simultaneously accommodate up to four scholars-in-residence, creating an atmosphere conducive to the exchange of ideas. Scholars are encouraged to submit their completed research articles for publication in the Newman Studies Journal. In addition, The Newman Lecture Series offers opportunities for scholars to present their research to a general audience.
Remarks from NSP Alumni
"My experience at the institute was truly life-changing in so many ways. Even though I had somewhat fancied Newman to be a great mind, I was only able to take a measure of the immensity of his spirit and its contemporary relevance during my period of study. As I continue to work on my dissertation and begin a lifetime of Newman studies, I look forward to being able to return to the Institute for more work. I left Pittsburgh and the Newman Institute with fond memories of a great city and an awesome research facility." - Fr. Emeka Ngwoke, University of Notre Dame
"I would like to express my deep gratitude to you and the Institute for allowing me to stay and do my research in this summer. I have had a great time of study here. Thank you so much for your help, kindness, generosity and everything. – Fr. Vinh Bao Luu-Quang, The Catholic University of America
"The Institute provided a serene atmosphere, first-class accommodation, professional support, and amiable companionship in the person of other schcolars. Most appreciated was the 24/7 access to Newman's entire collection, the search features of the Knowledge Kiosk ... and the quiet which permitted me to get the best out of myself." – Dr. Donald G. Graham, St. Augustine's Seminary
"Thanks again for these two weeks. I found a lot of very interesting books and could study very well." – Fr. David Grea, Catholic University of Lyon
