SCHOLARSHIPS AND AWARDS<br />
APPLICATION PROCEDURES<br />
The Offi ce of Financial Aid provides the Student Financial Assistance Program<br />
brochure and Financial Aid Application to applicants for admission into the<br />
MATS and MDiv degree programs and to returning students. Applications are to<br />
be completed and returned promptly to the fi nancial aid offi ce by both new and<br />
returning students. Once completed, the applications are reviewed by the director<br />
of fi nancial aid. Students who qualify for fi nancial aid are notifi ed of the amount<br />
and type of assistance available. This notifi cation is made prior to registration so<br />
that students will have a clearer picture of their fi nancial situation before enrolling<br />
in seminary for any given term.<br />
Approved fi nancial aid grants and scholarships are credited to the student’s<br />
account with the Offi ce of Business Affairs and are fi rst applied against <strong>Seminary</strong><br />
charges such as tuition, rent, board, and fees. This aid is subject to proportional<br />
adjustment should a recipient drop a course or withdraw from seminary. Students<br />
receiving grants and scholarships that exceed in aggregate the cost of tuition and<br />
course-related expenses (books, fees, etc.) will fi nd those funds treated as unearned<br />
income under the Tax Reform Act of 1986.<br />
