xypathos Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I've been notified that the theology department at Canterbury Christ Church (UK school attached to the Church of England) has put forth my name for acceptance and to award me a studentship which would fund my studies. The nomination essentially guarantees me acceptance (they've never had a nomination turned down) but receiving the funding is trickier, being international. Being that I would be ordained my potential primary supervisor (a CoE priest) is reaching out to various dioceses about serving 1/2-time at a church in exchange for housing and funding, as part of a backup. Just have to make sure we don't violate visa laws on that end. It's something at least and the prospect of life in England for the next three years is alluring.

Well done with securing funding. My husband is British and did his undergrad at Cambridge and is always very pessimistic about the funding chances so I didn't even try. (Well, that and the U.K. doesn't acknowledge the adoption of our oldest son so since he came along the plan had to be the US first.) But it's a good gig if you can get it.

menge Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 Finally got the official rejection from UVA. Hopefully this means they are getting closer to releasing (good!) news to those of you on the WL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
