Funding Your Education

Master’s Program Aid

All full-time students in our residential Master’s programs are eligible for generous scholarships, which range from partial tuition to full tuition plus a stipend. All part-time students in online/hybrid programs receive assistance in the form of a reduced tuition rate.

Doctoral Student Being Hooded

PhD Program Aid

All PhD students receive full-tuition scholarships with substantial stipends and professional support.

Scholarship & Aid Process

It’s easy to be considered for a scholarship! Simply apply for admission by your program deadline, and if you are admitted as a full-time student, you will automatically be considered for a Seminary scholarship. There is no separate application or FAFSA needed for scholarship consideration, and scholarships are generally awarded at the time of admission.  

An admissions interview is not required, but is strongly encouraged for Master’s applicants seeking top scholarship consideration (PhD and international student interviews are by invitation only). In all cases, interview availability is limited to those students who have submitted applications for admission. Instructions and a link to schedule an interview will be provided to eligible candidates after application submission.
