About Adolf Schlatter Stiftung

Adolf Schlatter Stiftung is a small, specialized German foundation focused on advancing research on Adolf Schlatter and supporting Christian theological scholarship. Its giving is centered on an annual prize program that recognizes unpublished academic work—especially from students and early-career scholars—on biblical exegesis, New Testament studies, ancient Judaism and early Christianity, hermeneutics, and the relationship between theology, dogmatics, and philosophy. The foundation appears highly academic and niche, rewarding strong thesis- or dissertation-level scholarship rather than broad project grants.

Giving Approach

Primarily annual, prize-based giving through the Adolf-Schlatter-Preis (main prize and Förderpreis). Awards are modest in size, typically around $1,000–$10,000, and target unpublished academic papers from university students and graduates; the process has a fixed annual deadline and is likely review-based rather than open grantmaking.

How to approach this funder

Submit an unpublished academic paper by March 15 each year; eligible applicants include university students and graduates, with work evaluated from April to June and prizes awarded in the fall. Strong applications should clearly engage Adolf Schlatter’s thought or the foundation’s listed theological themes, and should fit the format of a thesis, seminar paper, Master’s work, or dissertation-level study.
