Theological Education Fund (1 %
Plan)
Providing denominational support to our Presbyterian theological schools
The ten seminaries of the Presbyterian Church (USA) and
the Evangelical Seminary of Puerto Rico (in convenant
with the PCUSA) no longer receive any funding from the
budget of the General Assembly. Congregations can participate
in the church-wide support of theological schools
through the Theological Education Fund. Churches are
asked to contribute 1 percent of their operating budget
to the fund, which is distributed to each of the theological
institutions.

Presbyterian Church (USA), 502-569-5312 or toll free,

PTS Students Thank You!
Thanks to the generosity of many alurnni/ae,
friends, and congregations, Princeton Seminary
is able to provide a superior theological education
to people who might otherwise be precluded for
financial reasons.
Matthew Spina, director of student financial aid,
reports that for this 1997-98 academic year, of
the full-time master of divinity and master of arts
students:
'-------------
91 percent of them (410 men and
women) receive PTS grants and scholarships
that cover either full or partial
tuition; the average grant is $7,255.
• 376 (84 percent of all students) receive
PTS grants that equal or exceed their
tuition and fee charges of $7,500.
In terms of actual educational costs per student,
theological education at Princeton Seminary is
heavily subsidized for all students (including those
who receive no scholarship assistance). Revenue
received from the Seminary's invested endowment
covers two-thirds of the cost of every student's
education.
Scholarships and financial aid grants are in addition
to this endowed investment in every student's
education, and are made possible by alumni!ae roll
call gifts, income from more than four hundred
partially or fully endowed scholarships established
by individuals, alumni/ae, or congregations, and
from the Seminary's annual operating budget supported
by undesignated annual gifts.
To each of you who contributes
ways, we thank you!
