CAFO Student Fellowship Program

As a CAFO Student Fellow, you will have the unique opportunity to learn, grow, and explore your calling with other students and professionals who share your heart to care for the most vulnerable. This will be accomplished through the online multi-dimensional Student Fellowship Course, adapted from CAFO's OVC Essentials and in-person attendance at the CAFO Summit.

Prior to applying, please note that the Student Fellowship program is being offered in two parts (in the Spring and Fall). First, the Student Fellowship course contains five monthly modules. The commitment for each module is about four hours each month (January - May). Each month will consist of one video call (recorded) and content to read, watch, or listen to. Second, the CAFO Summit is held each year in September. Upon completion of both the Student Fellowship Course and Summit attendance/participation, Student Fellows will be awarded a Certificate of Completion.

As an investment in college students and their bright futures, all who are accepted into the Student Fellowship will receive a full scholarship for the cost of the Student Fellowship course. Further, all who successfully complete the course will receive a scholarship covering all registration costs for CAFO Summit plus a $100 stipend to help with travel costs.*

*The application window for 2024 has passed. Applications for 2025 will open in November 2024.

* We understand that not every student will be able to travel for Summit. While attendance is necessary to gain a Student Fellowship Certificate of Completion, it is not necessary to participate in the program.

*The window to apply for this year's program has passed. Applications for 2025 will open in November.
