Apply to the Program
Undergraduate, graduate, and professional students currently enrolled at the University of Notre Dame, Saint Mary’s College, or Holy Cross College are eligible to apply to the Sorin Fellows Program. Competitive applicants will have a record of participation in the life of the de Nicola Center for Ethics and Culture, a demonstrated interest in the Catholic moral and intellectual tradition, and a capacity to articulate the distinctive role integral formation in the Catholic tradition might serve in their collegiate experience and beyond.
As an alternative to issuing an acceptance, the Sorin Fellows Program reserves the right to recommend initial or further participation in the life of the dCEC and/or further curricular and extra-curricular activities that demonstrate the applicant’s interest in the mission and activities of the Center.
Applicants who receive this recommendation are eligible to re-apply to the Sorin Fellows Program the following semester.
