ECUMENICAL STUDENT FELLOWSHIP
W. P. NEWELL MEMORIAL FELLOWSHIP
An endowment was established in 1946 by Mrs. W. P. Newell of Albany, Texas,
as a memorial to her late husband, W. P. (Dick) Newell. The income from this
fund is to be used annually by the Board of Trustees of the Seminary to provide
scholarships, a graduate study fellowship for a Master of Divinity student, or in
some other manner to enrich the lives of those training for the Christian ministry.
This fellowship carries a grant of $3,000.
JANIE MAXWELL MORRIS FELLOWSHIP
The Janie Maxwell Morris Fellowship was established in 1953 by a bequest from
the will of Mrs. Milton Morris of Austin, Texas. The income on this bequest may
be used in aiding some Master of Divinity graduate of the Seminary who desires to
pursue his or her studies further. This fellowship carries a grant of $2,000.
THE ALSUP-FRIERSON FELLOWSHIP
The Alsup-Frierson Fellowship for Excellence in Biblical Exegesis and Hermeneutics

of the long-standing tradition of excellence in biblical studies at Austin Seminary.
The endowment is to fund an award to be granted annually to the MDiv or MATS
