Each year, the Center for Faithful Business invites scholars from around the world to apply for the Bill Pollard Faith & Business Research Fellowship. Selected scholars come to Seattle Pacific University for a short residency during which they draw on the Pollard papers and other resources in SPU’s Work and Faith Collection — the largest of its kind — to develop new research on an aspect of the papers related to the interest of the scholar. A panel of judges evaluates the papers and invites one scholar to return to SPU the following spring for a presentation of the research findings and a discussion with faculty and fellows in the Center for Faithful Business.
