Visit Stipend Program for Pastors
Help a student take an important step in choosing a college—making a campus visit.
When you arrange a visit to Walla Walla University for qualifying students from your church, you will:
- Provide the encouragement they need to explore their options.
- Support the ministry of Adventist higher education.
- Receive a stipend to boost your work (or for any other purpose).
Choose from two types of visits:
- Individual/group visit. Your student(s) will enjoy a visit created around their goals and interests. Their visit day will include a campus tour; meetings with advisors, professors, and financial aid experts; and even a chance to attend classes.
- U-Days visit. Your student(s) will enjoy three days of engaging college exploration activities, joined by other students from near and far.
Campus visit stipend
Covered expenses for the visit(s) include:
- Food and lodging for up to three nights for the pastor, and also for the student (and their immediate family members). All fuel expenses (must provide receipts).
- Plus, you will receive a stipend:
- $100 if you bring one or more qualifying students for an individual/group campus visit (maximum $300 per year).
- $300 if you bring three or more qualifying students for a WWU U-days event (maximum $600 per year).
Qualifying students
