Students applying for financial assistance, including loans and scholarships, do so by completing the financial aid process which includes the completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), the Seminary's Application for Financial Aid, and the letter of thanks to the donor. The Financial Aid Application may be found in the following link: Financial Aid Application
Students are encouraged to contact the Seminary’s Financial Aid Office to verify that all financial aid paperwork has been received at finaid@ptseminary.edu. Students may also view this information in their PTS Student Portal. Scholarships are applied toward tuition costs only. All fees (registration, technology, application and other related fees) are the student’s responsibility. A maximum of one scholarship may be granted per term/semester.
Degree-seeking students are eligible to apply for Seminary scholarships, outside scholarships, federal work-study, federal loans, and alternative loans if needed. Non-degree-seeking students may apply for Seminary scholarships, outside scholarships, and alternative loans. Prospective students must be accepted for admission to the Seminary to be eligible for financial aid.
Students who do not have U.S. citizenship or Permanent Resident status do not have to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students who do not have U.S. citizenship or Permanent Resident status may apply for Seminary scholarships, outside scholarships, and private/non-federal loans by completing the Seminary's Application for Financial Aid, and the letter of thanks to the donor.
