HOW YOU CAN HELP SHAPE THE FUTURE AT STH

Thank you for your interest in supporting the mission of the School of Theology. Your engagement makes a real difference every day.

HELP BUILD OUR FACULTY. Endowed professorships help us recruit and retain outstanding faculty—the researchers and teachers who will build the STH of tomorrow. We also seek additional postdoctoral fellowships and support for our PhD candidates, the faculty of tomorrow. We are happy to discuss different levels of giving for professorships and fellowships.

SUPPORT OUR RESEARCH. Your gift can help support faculty research, writing, curriculum development, and other projects that are critical to maintaining innovation. Or, with a gift to a graduate research fund, you can help students collaborate in faculty-mentored research and participate in research conferences, preparing students on the MDiv track for a first faculty appointment.

HELP US MAKE EDUCATION ACCESSIBLE. Scholarships are essential in order to open our doors to the widest possible range of excellent students, regardless of means. In addition, we continue to explore hybrid and fully online options as a way of increasing access for candidates who could not otherwise pursue an STH education. In both of these efforts, your support can change the lives of deserving students.

SUPPORT OUR WORK FOR JUSTICE AND EQUITY. Financial aid also increases access to STH for excellent candidates from diverse communities, many of whom come with significant undergraduate debt and will likely earn only modest incomes after graduation. You can also support our work toward a more just and equitable world with a gift to any of our programs that focus on these essential goals.

Boston University’s strategic vision for the next decade, finalized in 2021, focuses on five strategic priorities:

1 A Vibrant Academic Experience

2 Research that Matters

3 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

4 Community, Big Yet Small

5 Global Engagement

The BU School of Theology’s strategic objectives are informed by these goals.

We welcome your partnership as we look toward the future of STH. For more information on our work and how you can help, please contact:
