The Fund seeks candidates whose daily actions are guided by spiritual values.

Applications from graduate students, as well as undergraduates with one year of college completed, are preferred.

Applications from candidates who reside in or attend schools in the following states are preferred: Connecticut, District of Columbia, Delaware, Maryland, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia.

Grants are typically $5,000 to $7,000 and may be renewed for subsequent years.

Application Timeline

November 1st: The Roothbert Fund online application is available to the public.

February 1st: Completed applications, including letters of recommendations and academic transcripts, must be submitted online by February 1st at 11:59pm.  

March: Throughout the month of March, select candidates will be invited to interview with the Scholarship Committee. Interviews are typically held in person (virtual interviews are considered on a case-by-case basis) in New York, NY, Washington, DC, Philadelphia, PA, and New Haven, CT.

Please note that interviews are a required part of the application process. Applicants are encouraged to consider carefully whether or not they will be able to attend an interview at one of these locations on short notice. The Fund does not reimburse transportation/travel expenses incurred by applicants during the interview process.

April: Awards are announced in late April. Recipients will be notified by mail.

August: The scholarship will be delivered directly to the grantee’s institution by late August.

Note: Fellows are eligible to apply for a renewal for every year they are continuing their degree program. The Fund does not grant renewals for the pursuit of more than one academic program (e.g., If a fellow applies for a 3-year Masters program and receives a fellowship, the fellow is eligible to apply for renewals to fund all 3 years. However, the Fund will not support an additional academic program after the completion of the Masters program).
