How many students graduated from the 5-year program this year (include spring and December grads)*

Of these graduates, how many have been placed in US churches?*

Please briefly describe all of this year's graduates' placements (ex. Jane Doe has been hired as the youth pastor at a church of 200 congregants in Duluth MN.).*

How many NEW APDP students do you project for next fall: this includes students previously at your school but not in the APDP who have now transferred/committed to the APDP. This should be an estimate that you have high confidence in. *

How many 5-year students (all existing cohorts, not including new) plan to return for next fall?*

How many new students have started in the APDP who were not counted in last fall's report?

How many APDP students have withdrawn or been dropped since last fall's report?*

__________NOTE___________

The following questions have been added to our form because we recognize that not all APDP students who enter the programs complete their studies in the 5-year timeframe. We also recognize the inherent value received by both the students and your institution (additional enrollment) even though these students fall outside the scope of the grant. Our donor intent remains unchanged but we are interested in the statistics of these secondary groups of students.

________________________

In the history of your program to date, about how many APDP students left the program because they were HIRED AWAY by churches in years 4 or 5?*

In the history of your program to date, about how many students who were OLDER than the Foundation’s age cap completed both degrees within five-years of enrollment?*

In the history of your program to date, about how many APDP students who met the Foundation’s age criteria TOOK LONGER than five years but no more than 6.5 years to graduate?*

Does your APDP program include an explicit emphasis on preparing students to start/plant new churches?*

If so, please describe whether/how curriculum, field experience, and/or assessment differ for students interested in starting/planting churches as compared with those who aren't.

Any Questions? Please email grantsadmin@kffdn.org or 262.968.6838 x.220 for technical questions. We will be happy to assist you.

Thank you for all you do in preparing the next generation of pastors- we appreciate your work!

Sincerely,

The Kern Family Foundation
