Students and Scholars
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.
Internships
CPJ offers paid internships at our offices in Alexandria, VA. This formative educational experience encourages interns’ professional, spiritual, and intellectual development at the intersection of faith, public policy, and justice.
Shared Justice
SharedJustice.org is the leading online journal for Christian reflection on public justice, specifically crafted for college students and young professionals.

Political Discipleship
The Political Discipleship Guide from the Center for Public Justice is created for small groups and provides a practical approach to Christian citizenship and engagement with public justice.
Political Discipleship is designed to help small groups explore faithful, Christian citizenship by practicing citizenship together.
