Purpose of the Grant |
Grants may only be used to cover a portion
of the travel and living expenses of researchers coming to the Billy
Graham Center Archives to study the history and practice of Christian
evangelism. Scholarly publication, ministry application, personal enrichment
are all - for the purposes of these grants - worthy purposes of research. |
Type of Applicants |
Applications are encouraged from, but by no means restricted to, persons in graduate level thesis and doctoral programs. Undergraduates and persons working on non-scholarly projects are also welcome and will receive full consideration. |
Review of Applications |
Applications for grants will be reviewed as they arrive. The grant awarded may be for less than the sum requested in the application. Grant applications should be for no more than USD $300.00.

|
Needed for Reimbursement |
Research
grants will be made in the form of reimbursement for expenses. Recipients
will be required to submit receipts (originals, not copies) for approved
expenses and a 1-2 page report about their research. They will then receive
a check in US dollars within 30 days after these materials are received
by the Billy Graham Center. |
Starting Date of Research Visit
|
Grant awards are contingent upon the researcher arriving at the Archives at the date he/she indicated as starting date of his/her research visit. If a grant is made to a researcher and that researcher does not arrive at the Archives on the announced date, the grant may be rescinded by the Center and given to someone else.
|
Number of Grants per Person |
Only one grant per person per fiscal year (July through June) will be awarded, but the recipient of a grant may apply again in a following year. |
