IS THE UPTOWN FELLOWS THE RIGHT FIT FOR ME?

We would love to talk with you more about the Uptown Fellows Program. Please contact us for more information: fellows@incarnation.org

WHAT IS THE COST OF THE UPTOWN FELLOWS PROGRAM?

The cost of the Uptown Fellows is $6,500. This amount can be paid prior to the start of the program or on an incremental basis, to be agreed upon with the director. We encourage Fellows to seek financial prayer and support from family, friends, church community, and mentors. If, upon acceptance, you would like advice and resources on how to fundraise for your Fellows tuition, please let us know.

WHEN ARE APPLICATIONS DUE?

We consider applications on a rolling basis but the deadline for each year’s class is on or around June 1. Our goal is to notify applicants with a decision within two-three weeks after the online interview is conducted.

HOW DOES THE JOB THING WORK?

Utilizing the network of connections within the Church of the Incarnation community, the Uptown Fellows Program assists each Fellow in obtaining a part-time, paid internship. After reviewing your application and connecting you with potential employers, we do our best to arrange a position that matches your field of interest. Fellows should expect to make around $10,000 over the course of their nine-month job.

WHERE WILL I LIVE?

Fellows live together in Christian community. Together Fellows build a common spiritual life of prayer, sharing each other’s burdens and learning to honestly reconcile disputes. We forge deep friendships through our life together, and do our best to have fun, too! Fellows live in communal housing in the heart of Dallas.

HOW DID THE UPTOWN FELLOWS PROGRAM GET STARTED?

As a church, one of our core mission points is to raise up the next generation of Christ-centered leaders. The Uptown Fellows program grew out of this same calling. We know young adults today desire the spiritual and leadership development to become the next generation of leaders in the workforce, in ministry, in their families, and in their communities.

The BeecherlCorrigan Fellows Program (referred to as the Uptown Fellows) at Church of the Incarnation was created in honor of two long time leaders in the parish’s life, Louis A. Beecherl, Jr.andLeo F. Corrigan, Jr.The initial program endowment was provided by Mr.and Mrs. Peter O’Donnell, Jr.

The very first fellows program was started by The Falls Church in Falls Church, Virginia, and there are now more than 30 Fellows programs hosted by churches around the country.
