The Financial Aid Program at Princeton Theological Seminary

Supporting Your Faithful Response to God's Call

Princeton Theological Seminary’s outstanding academic program provides a strong foundation for Christian ministry and leadership, ensuring that students are prepared to serve the Church and the world. Making this education financially feasible for our students is an important part of our commitment to serve the church of Jesus Christ.

We offer need-based grants, low interest loans, and merit-based scholarships to assist full-time master’s-level degree candidates in covering their educational expenses.

Over 90% of MDiv, MACEF, MTS, and dual MDiv/MACEF students receive grants or scholarships
