Financial Matters

The Seminary is interested in helping students supplement their individual resources with financial aid. Below are some of the resources a student may want to investigate for assistance. As you review the options please keep the following in mind:

• Students must be admitted, enrolled and registered at least half-time in a program leading to a degree to be eligible for federally funded financial assistance. This is at least 4.5 credits in the Certificate, M.A. or M.Div. programs and at least 3 credits in the Doctor of Ministry program.
• To receive federal financial aid, students may not owe a refund on any federal grant or be in default on any federal loan received for attendance at any institution; additional information regarding financial aid may be obtained by calling Student Financial Services 585.594.6150
• Financial aid is packaged annually for a full academic year and is distributed between the fall, spring and summer semesters. If a student enters the Seminary in the spring, the  financial aid is packaged for the spring and summer only. Similarly, if the student enters the Seminary in the summer, the financial aid is packaged for the summer only. Contact Student Financial Services for direction at 585.594.6150
• For additional financial aid information and loan applications, please contact Student Financial Services at 585.594.6150; if you are seeking a loan application, please make sure you have already fulfilled the application checklist
• The Seminary’s tuition and fees, course offerings, admissions requirements, degree and faculty offerings, and academic and/or degree requirements are subject to change without notice and do not constitute a contract between any student and the Seminary
