Becoming a Scholar

The Stover Scholars program invites applications from outstanding students who would like to understand—and ultimately to influence—the way the United States Constitution shapes American life today.

  • "The Stover program changed the course of my life. When I came to Waynesburg, I had no intention of pursuing a career as a lawyer. Despite my passion for the law, I could not find a way to reconcile my faith with my perception of what a legal career would entail. Under the guidance of Dr. Stratton and my interactions with Stover guests and my fellow scholars, however, I began to see how Christianity and the law can interact. As a result, I am now pursuing my J.D. and hope to enter into a legal career that is fueled by my faith."

    Gina Robinson, Duquesne University Law School Student

  • The program has provided me with phenomenal benefits—then as a student, and now in my work at the White House.

    Daniel Czajkowski, Legal Assistant, Office of the White House Counsel

  • "As a teacher, I help my students look at every angle of an issue, and consider every position−including those which they disagree. I try to replicate the fascinating discussions that were part of my own experience in law school."

    Dr. Lawrence Stratton, Director of the Stover Center

  • The Stover Program for Constitutional Studies and Moral Leadership is a unique opportunity for individuals to understand the constitutional and moral foundations our country was built upon and how they are intertwined. Stover Scholars will leave the program with once and a lifetime experiences and be prepared to apply the insights gained to their sphere of influence!
