John Stott Endowment Initiatives

Since 2013, the John Stott Endowment has enabled the Human Needs and Global Resources Program to broaden its impact on and off campus by supporting new Stott initiatives. All Wheaton College faculty are welcome to become involved with these programs that encourage faculty development and support Program partner relationships. These include Faculty Research Grants and Faculty Research Leave, the Stott Fellows Program, the Visiting International Scholar, Artist, Practitioner program and significant student scholarships.

Learning from Neighbors around the World

"It’s a really unique experience because when you go out into the field, you’re on your own. It’s not a study abroad program and no one else from the College is with you. It’s up to you to immerse yourself in the community, to engage, and to live and learn firsthand."
