Applications for a full-ride scholarship for an M.A. in Theology (Fall 2024) are now closed.
Thanks to the generosity of our benefactors, the TI is pleased to offer two full-ride scholarships each academic year for the MA program in Theology at the Dominican House of Studies.
The Dominican House of Studies is a rich and unique environment for graduate studies. At the DHS, students share the classroom and the chapel with Dominican friars; study under an impressive, orthodox, and highly integrated faculty; and follow a rigorous curriculum centered on the synthesis of the Catholic intellectual tradition found in St. Thomas Aquinas.
If you:
Are currently a senior in college or a recent college graduate
Have current or recent involvement with the TI
Are passionate about the Thomistic tradition and intellectual evangelization
Have a strong academic track record
You are strongly encouraged to apply!
What does the scholarship include?
Full tuition for four (4) semesters
A living stipend of $8,000 per semester
Additional funds to cover academic fees & books
Scholarship awardees also work up to eight (8) hours weekly either as research assistants to the faculty or on various projects of the Thomistic Institute.

A note on the application process (please read carefully):
By submitting the materials listed above, you are applying to be nominated by the Thomistic Institute as a scholarship recipient at the DHS. Should you be nominated by the Thomistic Institute to receive a scholarship, you will need to apply to the MA program at the Dominican House of Studies. This process is wholly independent from our scholarship application process.
Receiving a nomination for a TI scholarship will not guarantee or privilege your application to the DHS’s MA program. Conversely, your admission to an MA program at the DHS is not a prerequisite for a scholarship application and will not be considered in the assessment of your scholarship application.
If you have questions regarding the DHS’s admissions and application requirements, course of study, or related matters, please visit dhs.edu/admissions or contact registrar@dhs.edu.

“The fruits of this MA program will be life-long. My broad goal is to share the perennial truths articulated by St. Thomas with the world to the utmost of my ability, especially his wisdom on the human person. I intend to pass on the fruits of things contemplated by teaching, further study, and hopefully by ministering to individuals to help them come to their full fruition in the Truth.”

Class of 2023
“The classes taught by my professors in the MA program have not only been intellectually rigorous, but spiritually fruitful. The community of students, as well, have provided a delightful collegiate atmosphere where the pursuit of truth and the wellbeing of others is always a premier concern.”

Class of 2021
“I have loved my studies. The faculty and students here are truly guided by the Thomistic principle that "the ultimate perfection of the contemplative life” is that "the Divine truth be not only seen but also loved" (ST II-II, q.180, a. 7, ad 1.) In this environment, academic rigor is sought for the right reason – that we might think about God with the utmost clarity so that we might love Him with the utmost fervor and subsequently share that integrated knowledge and love with the world.”
