Anderson University

The Church Related Vocations Association-CRVA is a group of students, all of whom desire to learn about ministry, serve, and have fellowship with others who share their interests and concerns.

In-Service Guidance Classes are offered in the Religion curriculum. Each of these classes carries one-semester hour of credit. Students are given the opportunity to explore the call to Christian service, to acquire basic helping skills, and to relate identity and professional roles as a minister. Practical skills, history, and polity are taught in the classroom and in applied ministry activities. Church Related Vocations students are normally expected to take at least one In-Service Guidance class each academic year.

Church Related Vocations Scholarships are offered to all full-time students who are continuing to prepare for careers in ministry. The expectation of Anderson University is that recipients of the scholarships will maintain a 2.0 GPA; successfully complete the In-Service Guidance classes; and participate in activities such as the CRV Association, ministries which are a regular part of the Campus Ministries program, and field placement opportunities. The financial aid awards are renewable annually after review of each student's progress by the Director of the CRV program.
