Dear Student;

The "Financial Aid Handbook" has been designed to assist you in planning your finances for your Seminary program. You will find the information divided into sections according to topic. Please review this booklet carefully since it provides details about our financial aid programs as well as our policies and procedures.

It is our hope that the "Handbook" will answer many of your questions. However, since each student's financial situation is unique, you are invited to discuss your financial concerns with me at any point during the year. Please feel free to contact us via the Seminary's toll-free phone number at (800) 622-6767 extension 7805. We look forward to assisting you as you consider the affordability of a seminary education.

Sincerely,

Matthew Spina
Director, Admissions and Financial Aid
