After mentors have completed their second training experience, Mentor Formation sessions provide new areas of growth and expertise for experienced mentors. Mentors receive an honorarium in appreciation of their service. They are independent contractors and are not employees of the University of the South. Where and when mentors choose to meet with their seminar groups, as well as exactly how they will work together, are decisions they reach with their own students. The Education for Ministry program is a four-year curriculum.
Students enroll for one cycle at a time.
Groups may enroll in any month from September through May. We do not enroll students or new groups in June, July, or August. To maintain an effective learning environment and to provide participation for everyone, EFM groups may not have more than eleven students. At the time of enrollment students pay the full year's tuition. In case of a move during the academic cycle, a student may transfer to another group.
