Lilly Scholars
are identified as those who have expressed a sincere desire to purposefully
identify
their gifts, values, and sense of call
and explore how each are being shaped to meet the world’s deepest
needs. Lilly Scholars are encouraged to intentionally engage in the
work of discernment, through involvement in Christian community, and
discussions around their own faith formation.
All Duke undergraduates
involved in the PathWays Community are invited to apply to become
Lilly Scholars. Each Scholar is required to participate
in at least one Theological Vocational Discernment group before graduating
from Duke, meet for at least two vocational counseling appointments
each semester, be present at all Lilly Scholar group meetings, and
submit a final “Faith Journey” reflection paper before
graduation.
All Scholars are
eligible for generous grants and stipends through PathWays for mission
trips, conferences, spiritual retreats and for
participation in our summer internship program. Lilly Scholars also
receive preferred status for acceptance into our Lilly Fellowship Program
(post graduation,
intentional Christian community vocational discernment program). In
addition, scholars have special access to the PathWays lending library
resources and to our extended relationships with various ministries
and faith-based organizations.
