Increasing institutional aid and scholarships remains one of the highest priorities of the Seminary. Institutional aid and scholarship awards can be based on a variety of criteria including denomination, enrollment status, academic merit, talent, demonstrated financial need, field of study, participation in a specific program, organization or activity, financial need, and/or any combination of the above.
