Hope College | The CrossRoads Project

The CrossRoads Project has a limited amount of money specifically dedicated to helping Hope students in their junior or senior year visit seminaries, divinity schools, and other graduate programs in religion. We can help pay your travel expenses, whether by air, train, or in your own car (we can reimburse you for gas, oil, parking, and tolls. Depending on the demand for funding during a given year, we can often cover a significant percentage of your travel expenses.

If you're interested, please make an appointment with the Program Director, Dr. David Cunningham, or Associate Director, Dr. Kristen D. Johnson, by calling the CrossRoads Office at x7320 or send an e-mail to crossroads@hope.edu stating which days and times are best for you.

We wish you all the best in your ongoing discernment and preparation for graduate study in theology.
