Is financial aid available for theological studies?
Many theological schools subsidize their students’ educational expenses, so the costs tend to be lower than for many other professional graduate school programs. Most also offer merit-based and need-based financial aid packages. Each institution varies, so make sure to do adequate research on the assistance offered by the schools that interest you. In addition, many denominations will offer some financial support for their candidates for ministry. Check with your pastor or denominational office to see what resources exist.
