As part of its project to address the negative impact educational debt has on new membership, NRVC has produced a booklet with general guidance for religious communities. The 23-page booklet, A Handbook on Educational Debt and Vocations to Religious Life, includes chapters on:

Impact of college debt on vocations, citing the 2013 NRVC-CARA study of the topic
For leaders: principles for working with inquirers
For vocation ministers: working with discerners
Practical and legal considerations
Developing congregational policies regarding education debt
Information on federal student loan forgiveness programs

The handbook can be downloaded here. This handbook has been made available thanks to the generosity of the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation.
