WHO WE ARE
Young men and women wishing to discern religious life must be debt-free to enter formation so that they can make a vow of poverty. However, at least half are barred from entering due to student loan debt. They are too poor to make the vow of poverty!
The Fund for Vocations' mission is to help solve the vocations crisis by eliminating the obstacle of student loan debt for those generous young men and women who have been accepted into Catholic religious life but are barred from entering due to their student loans. We have enabled over 300 young Catholics discern religious life over the past 17 years and are currently supporting 100 candidates in formation.
