Santa Clara University

The purpose of this fellowship program is to encourage scholarly activity and to enrich the intellectual life of Santa Clara University precisely as a Jesuit, Catholic University.

Bannan Grants up to $5,000 each are designed to fund scholarly and pedagogical efforts by Santa Clara faculty, staff, and students, which also further the mission of the Institute.

Faculty, staff, and students may apply to the Ignatian Center’s Bannan Institute for a grant to sponsor or co-sponsor a visitor who fits criteria specified by the center.

As a means to provide faculty/staff with additional opportunities for engagement with the broader Ignatian tradition there are several experiences that take place off campus. These are listed here.

Various experiences of day-long or weekend retreats covering themes as varied as Ignatian spirituality and Zen Meditation.

This DISCOVER luncheon speaker series sponsored by the Bannan Institute aims to provide a space on campus for a discussion of personal experiences and values– among faculty, students, alums, and staff of the university.
