Inquiry program application form


Early-Bird Application Deadline is December 1, 2007
Final Application Deadline is January 31, 2008

Though we would love to provide placements for all students who apply, we are only able to accept 5-8 applicants per Inquiry Program. Students who complete their applications by the early-bird deadline will be processed (accepted or not accepted) first. Depending on the number of applicants in a given year, the possibility exists that all slots might be filled even before the final deadline! Therefore, it is in your best interest to apply early!

This application indicates that you would like to be considered for placement with a camping, ministry, or service inquiry program for 11 weeks as a way of exploring full-time Christian service as a calling and vocational choice. Please understand that priority will be given to candidates who want to serve with an organization affiliated with the Mennonite Church, that a cumulative GPA of 3.0 is expected, and that first juniors and then sophomores will be given priority consideration.

Fields with asterisks (*) are required!
