The Interfaith Scholars program is a yearlong course and service learning opportunity taught by the Interfaith Institute’s Executive Director and Professor of Religion, Najeeba Syeed.
Interfaith Scholars explore the religious diversity of the Augsburg student body, the wider Twin Cities community, and the United States by learning from guest speakers from religious communities, business professionals, and other leaders across various sectors. Participants will gain leadership skills by learning and practicing how to converse respectfully with others about what they believe, why it matters, and how it propels us to service in the world.
Students with any religious or spiritual worldview as well as students without a connection to a religious tradition are encouraged to apply.
Applications for the 2026-27 student cohort are now open.
Applications are due on Wednesday, March 11.
