The Hatfield Prize Awards
The Hatfield Prize is designed to foster and advance Christian scholarship on today’s most complex social challenges. Awarded annually to three student-faculty pairs from Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU) institutions, these financial prizes facilitate student-faculty research over the course of a semester and culminate in the publication of policy reports.

Political Discipleship is designed to help small groups explore faithful, Christian citizenship by practicing citizenship together.
