For young adults participating in one of 11 national faith-based volunteer programs connected to FTE's Volunteers Exploring Vocation (VEV) initiative, the VEV Fellowship offers financial help toward the cost of the first year of a Master of Divinity program. 
Candidates for the VEV Fellowship must be current participants in one of the faith-based volunteer programs listed below, or have completed a year of service within the previous twelve months.
VEV Fellows are awarded a $2,500 stipend to apply toward educational costs and living expenses during their first year of seminary. Each Fellow also attends the FTE Conference on Excellence in Ministry in the summer before the fellowship year. A stipend is provided for conference travel and expenses. (Please note that conference attendance is a requirement of the fellowship.) 
Up to 10 VEV Fellows will be named for the upcoming academic year. Application forms for the 2008-2009 fellowship year are now available for download. The deadline for applications is April 1, 2008. Read more for tips on securing helpful letters of reference 
Fellows tell us the conference inspires them to keep going. This annual gathering brings together FTE Undergraduate, Congregational and Ministry Fellows with distinguished theologians, pastors and church leaders for several days of thoughtful exchange, including lectures, worship, forums, workshops, recreational activities and informal time together. The conference fosters mentoring relationships between students, theological leaders and pastors as they explore questions of ministry, service and the nature of Christian vocation. Fellows leave the conference with new tools for understanding their particular gifts in the context of the world's needs. The 2008 FTE Conference on Excellence in Ministry will be held June 11 - 15, 2008 at Candler School of Theology, Emory University, in Atlanta, GA.  |
