PLAN

How am I going to pay for seminary?

• In addition to scholarships, many other resources are available, including potential support from your home church and/or denomination. 

STUDY

Will I receive support during seminary? 

For residential students: Your on-campus experience is designed with student affordability in mind.

• Seminary housing is subsidized to keep costs lower than other options in Grand Rapids.
  

• All utilities are bundled into student housing costs to make budgeting easier.
  

• Financial education programming is available to help students make smart financial decisions.
  

• On-campus resources provide food, clothing, and other items at low or no cost for qualifying seminary students and their families.

For distance students: Your distance learning program is constructed to maximize your impact and your dollar, allowing you to take courses while also working.

• From the way students engage in class to the design of on-campus intensives, our distance programs allow space for paid work even as you maintain a “full-time” student status for swift program progress and maximum financial assistance.

For all students:

• Our financial aid director is available to work closely with you to promote your financial success during seminary.
