Arthur J. Schmitt was an industrial executive who expressed
his commitment to education, and the development of responsible
leadership through Christian principles and ideals. He
founded the Arthur J. Schmitt Foundation in 1941, dedicating
its resources toward fashioning a better and more humane
world.
The Arthur J. Schmitt Fellowships are available to students
in doctoral programs who intend to pursue careers in
college teaching. Eight to ten fellowships are awarded. Each fellowship
carries a ten-month stipend ($13,650 in 2008-09). The fellowship includes a scholarship that pays for continuous enrollment fees.
