Eakin Fellowships
Mrs. Frances Eakin established the Frank E. Eakin Jr. Fund in 2021 to honor her husband’s six-decade career at the University of Richmond, his contributions to the Department of Religious Studies, his passion for teaching, and his dedication to students. The fund supports the Frank E. Eakin Jr. Fellowships program, which provides financial support for UR students engaged in research, fieldwork, travel, and other experiences that enhance their coursework in the academic study of religion.
