MA in Philosophy

Philosophy Ethics Scholarship provides a scholarship for a full-time graduate student with a demonstrated interest in ethics, either as an area of scholarly research or as an important goal in life and career. The recipient will be pursuing an MA in philosophy or an MA with a concentration or certificate in professional ethics, or will be in some other graduate area in which ethics is an important part, such as nursing or neuroethics.

The Alexandria Scottish Rite of Freemasonry Graduate Fellowship in Philosophy Fund supports one $5000 graduate fellowship within the Department of Philosophy on an annual basis. Recipients of the award will submit a 1,500 to 2,000 word essay written on a topic relating to freemasonry to the scholarship selection committee and the chair of the department. Recipients will be pursuing graduate degrees in philosophy; will be full-time, in-state students; and will qualify on the basis of academic merit and financial need. The scholarship is renewable for previous recipients who opt to reapply for consideration.
