FAFSA and Federal Direct Student Loans
Students who are registered for at least half-time (4.5 credits Certificate/M.A./M.Div., 3 credits Doctor of Ministry) and have a minimum GPA of 2.0 are eligible for up to $20,500/year in unsubsidized federal Stafford student loans to cover program costs and living expenses. Completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is required for assessing range of eligibility. The FAFSA may be completed online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. To ensure that the financial information is received, students should list the Seminary’s school code (G34194) on the FAFSA.
Satisfactory Academic Progress
According to financial aid regulations, students must make satisfactory progress toward a degree in order to remain eligible to receive financial aid. In order to meet satisfactory academic progress, students must maintain a 2.0 minimum cumulative grade point average. The Office of Student Financial Services will assess each student's progress prior to the beginning of every academic year.
