We are currently accepting applications for LIFT 22, the Fall 2009 term.  The semester dates are September 14th- December 23rd. The Early Acceptance deadline is April 24, 2009.  We will only accept up to half of the LIFT student body at that time.  The Final Deadline is July 31, 2009. We process applications in the order they are received, so earlier applicants have a better chance of acceptance than later ones.

When applying, please also provide us with the names and phone numbers of two references that we can contact: 1) an employer or professor and 2) a spiritual mentor or advisor (pastor, small group leader, etc). Make sure you let them know you have put them down as references so they will be expecting a call.

Once you've applied, you can expect a phone call within about a week of when we receive your application. At that time, we will set up a phone interview with you, if we feel you have the potential to be a good LIFT student. After your phone interview, we will contact your references and then call you with our decision, usually within two weeks of the phone interview. You are then given a length of time (usually about a month) to decide whether or not you will commit to participating in LIFT, and you will mail us a signed "Letter of Intent" stating your decision.
