Students: Get a Mentor
Share Your Story
We know God created us for relationship, both with Him and with one another. But too often in our busy world, we forget to carve out time to truly listen to one another and reflect on the stories God is writing in our lives. Mentoring is about building meaningful relationships, allowing us to grow and better understand the unique story God is writing in each of our lives.
The Mentoring Program at Calvin College seeks to develop maturing and increasingly devoted disciples of Jesus Christ among the students of Calvin College by linking one generation of Jesus’ followers with the next in mentoring relationships. By pairing students with mentors and offering an incentive to begin (or continue) a mentoring relationship, the Mentoring Scholarship encourages students to experience the profound impact of having a mentor in their lives.
Those students who have demonstrated met the program requirements, desire to continue investing in a mentoring relationship and have financial need, will be selected for renewal of the Mentoring Scholarship in the form of a $600 stipend per semester towards their 2009-2010 tuition. Students who receive a renewal of the Mentoring Scholarship are required to meet a minimum of six times per semester with a mentor; set goals for growth and keep a personal mentoring journal; communicate with the Mentoring Coordinator and meet at least once for accountability and prayer; write a thank you note to the scholarship donor (fall) and a reflection on mentoring (spring); commit to passing on the gift of mentorship in some way.
