Ministry Worker Grant Application

This grant is for students (and their spouses) who work in (or are the dependent (as determined by the FAFSA) of someone who works in) full-time ministry. For the purposes of this grant, we define "full-time ministry" as 40 hours per week of paid work in an organization whose primary focus is advancing the gospel of Jesus Christ (e.g. church, missionary organization, Christian school, para-church organization). This grant must be renewed each year by submitting recent proof of continued full-time, paid employment in a qualifying ministry and by maintaining a 2.00 WJU cumulative GPA. Funds are limited - priority will be given to early applicants.
