Who Should Apply?

Current Freshmen and Sophomores are invited to apply. We are seeking an energetic, committed, and diverse group of students who wish to live in intentional Christian community learning how to do justice, grow in their faith, and critically reflect upon integral mission and the centrality of Christ to God’s reconciliation of the world.

This academic and residential program has been developed in order to help you to grow academically, socially, and spiritually, so that you may live a purposeful life of faith, learning, and integral mission (joining faithful Christian witness and social responsibility).

How to Apply?

The application process is pretty simple.

1. Approach three people who know you (a friend, pastor, and professor) and ask them if they would be willing to support your application to the Emmaus Scholars Program.
2. Go online to and fill in the application form.

What is the deadline for my application?

Complete applications and references must be submitted by December 3, 2013.

When will I hear about my status?

Once your application and three letters of reference have been submitted you will receive confirmation from the Emmaus Scholar's office. The selection of students for next year's program will be made before you return to Hope in Janaury.

Note: you will know wether or not you have been invited to participate in the Emmaus Scholars Program prior to the 2014-2015 application deadline for housing.
