Interfaith Scholars play a crucial role in Concordia's exciting interfaith initiative by serving as community liaisons, conducting interfaith research, and helping to design and implement interfaith programming.

Concordia is recognized by Interfaith Youth Core as a vanguard institution and national leader in interfaith engagement and interfaith studies. The Interfaith Scholar Fellowship offers a paid internship to students who excel as interfaith leaders. As Interfaith Scholars, students:     

  • Conduct original interfaith studies research and present work at local, regional and national conferences

  • Serve as liaisons to Fargo-Moorhead community interfaith partners; coordinate and implement Fargo-Moorhead community events such as International Potluck

  • Provide interfaith training sessions to admissions, residence life, students in Religion 200 classes, and other groups
