The Merrimack, New Hampshire-based St. Thomas More College of Liberal Arts has opened its 2009 “Faith & Reason Scholarship Essay Contest” for applicants to the school. Seven prizes will be awarded, with the top place earning a $30,000 scholarship to be distributed over four years.
Two second place awards will each receive a $20,000 prize, while five winners will each receive $10,000 in scholarship money distributed over four years of education.
The contest theme is based on a passage from Pope Benedict XVI’s 2006 Regensburg Address, in which he said:
“The courage to engage the whole breadth of reason… this is the program with which a theology grounded in Biblical faith enters into the debates of our time.”
