Study of Religion scholarship fund

The Paul Morris Scholarship in Religious Diversity and Inclusion

The Paul Morris Scholarship in Religion celebrates Paul's contribution to Study of Religion at Victoria University of Wellington and to religious and cultural debate in New Zealand. In 1994 Paul became the second Professor of Religious Studies, after Sir Lloyd Geering. Under Paul's leadership, the programme expanded to become the flagship programme in Religious Studies nationwide, and the largest programme of its discipline in the southern hemisphere. Paul was the main media commentator on religious and cultural diversity issues in this country, including a long-running series on Radio New Zealand.

This scholarship will support postgraduate study in Study of Religion. Your contribution will help a new generation to explore the role of religions in the contemporary world.
