Tuition and Fees
Our Financial Aid team works with each student to create a personalized aid package. We offer generous financial aid packages for most programs to make your Seminary education affordable.
Of special note: We offer guaranteed tuition to residential pastoral and deaconess students thanks to the ongoing support of donors. This means students in the residential Master of Divinity (M.Div.), Residential Alternate Route (RAR) and Deaconess Studies programs pay zero tuition.
