An application form for this rebate must be completed for every semester to which the rebate applies. A current letter from an officer of the church or organization verifying the student's employment is also required each semester to which the rebate applies.

Campus Minister's Rebate

Students who are on the full-time or part-time staff of a campus ministry, such as InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, Navigators, or Young Life may be eligible for a special 50 percent tuition reduction plan. Under this plan the student would complete the TEDS program through summer studies and/or a leave of absence from ministry.

Students who are enrolled during the fall or spring semesters are ineligible for this benefit. For more information, please con-tact the Financial Aid Office.

Credit Hour Spouse Rebate

Spouses of full-time students may be eligible to receive a 50 percent reduction in tuition charges for Master's-level courses when taking coursework during the same semester. If both spouses are full-time students, only one may receive the benefit. The spouse who receives the benefit is not eligible for any other Trinity aid, rebates, or tuition waivers. The spouse who does not receive the benefit is eligible to apply for all other forms of Trinity financial aid; however, he or she will not be eligible for any type of FULL tuition waiver.

Audit Hour Spouse Rebate

The spouse of a full-time master's student may audit free of charge the same number of units that the student takes for credit in a given semester. Please note that students who are receiving other tuition rebates or grants from the institution are not eligible to receive this benefit for themselves. The application forms for both of these rebates are available from the Financial Aid Office and must be completed each semester at the time of registration. This benefit will not be applied retroactively.

Veteran's Benefits

Transfer Credits

All veteran's benefits recipients must report all prior education and training. The University will evaluate such training and grant appropriate credit, with training time and tuition reduced proportionately, and with the USDVA and student so notified.

Academic Probation and Dismissal

Veteran's Administration Education Benefits Recipients: An enrolled student receiving VA education benefits is subject to all established regulations as outlined in the Code of Federal Regulations. As such, a VA student who has not maintained a 3.0 grade point average at the end of any grading period will be placed on academic probation for a maximum of two consecutive semesters. If the VA student has not raised his or her grade point average at that time, the VA will be notified and all benefits will be terminated. (Note: the satisfactory progress and academic enrollment at Trinity International University is dependent on the University standards, not the standards of the Veteran's Administration. Although the above statement applies to funding from the VA, it does not apply to the academic standards of Trinity International University.) Additional requirements for VA students regarding academic progress will be communicated in writing to student VA recipients each academic year.

Veterans Policy Statement

Evaluation of previous education/training will be conducted in compliance with the Code of Federal Regulations 21.4254(c)(4).

Trinity Evangelical Divinity School will conduct an evaluation of previous education and training, grant appropriate credit, shorten the veteran or eligible person's duration of the course proportionately, and notify the Department of Veteran's Affairs and the student accordingly.

Trinity reserves the right to modify all financial policies without notice.
