Announcing the Archpriest Joseph Gallick Memorial Scholarship

New Scholarship Honors Archpriest Joseph Gallick and Supports St. Tikhon’s Seminarians

St. Tikhon’s Seminary is pleased to announce the establishment of the Archpriest Joseph Gallick Saint Tikhon’s Memorial Scholarship Fund, created by Annunciation Orthodox Church in Natick, Massachusetts.

The scholarship honors the memory and ministry of Fr. Joseph Gallick, who served as rector of Annunciation Orthodox Church for more than 20 years. It also recognizes the critical role that St. Tikhon’s played in launching Fr. Joseph’s career in Orthodox ministry and seeks to continue his legacy by supporting future generations of Orthodox clergy.

The scholarship provides an annual award of $5,000 to a married St. Tikhon’s seminarian who intends to be ordained to the priesthood and serve in the Orthodox Church in America (OCA). Recipients may reapply for additional annual awards, up to a maximum of three years, although continued funding is not guaranteed.

Application Information

Eligible seminarians are encouraged to apply for the 2027 scholarship award. Applications must include a current résumé or curriculum vitae, two letters of recommendation, and a brief personal statement outlining the applicant’s plans for the priesthood and how the scholarship would support his future ministry.
