Scholar's Program

The Scholar’s Program is designed for junior and senior scholars, without regard to religious affiliation, who are either writing their dissertations or who are on sabbatical and desire to research and/or write on a topic integrally connected to this land, whether religious, historical, political, or cultural. Each scholar can tailor the program to their own needs. The length of the program varies accordingly.
