Students of all faith traditions, with special encouragement to those representing the historic Abrahamic faiths (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). Students should exhibit potential for, or involvement in, student leadership in various spheres of campus life.

The Brandeis Chaplaincy and Hillel and endorsed by a wide Project Consortium of university offices and programs.

Program Goals:
