Financial Aid/Scholarships – Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary

Financial Aid / Scholarships

Donor Support

In order to financially support our students, donors generously provide significant scholarship funding each year. This enables more students to attend and graduate with less debt, allowing them to focus on their ministry positions. See the details below for a full breakdown of all available scholarships.

Apply for a Scholarship

Be sure to first apply to a degree program. Scholarship applications will ONLY be considered if you have been accepted into a degree program. Note: PhD students should not submit a scholarship application, as their program is already funded.

Admitted students may annually submit the Scholarship Application to request financial aid. Applications should be submitted by June 1 (for a fall start) or November 1 (for a spring start).
