Affording TEDS
Trinity Evangelical Divinity School knows how important your educational goals are to fulfilling God’s call on your life. Being able to afford seminary is an essential step on the road to getting there. That’s why we strive to offer a generous scholarship and financial aid program. We want you to experience all of the excellence in evangelical scholarship that TEDS has to offer and begin applying your knowledge to ministry.
1. Scholarships and Aid
We offer a wide variety of scholarships and other types of aid to help lower the cost of tuition, this is why nearly 95% of our students receive some form of financial aid. SEE SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES >>
2. Our Partnerships
Another way of reducing the cost of tuition is by reviewing our partnerships. We offer the following partnerships:
3. Work Study
By being employed on campus through the Federal Work-Study Program, students can make up to $2,000+ per year. It is important for students to realize that a Federal Work-Study (FWS) award, if included in your financial aid award letter, is significantly different from grants, scholarships, and/or loans in two ways:
- FWS is not a guaranteed amount, since it is the student’s responsibility to find a FWS job on campus.
- There is no automatic posting of dollars to the student account. This occurs only if the student takes the initiative to deposit the biweekly paycheck into his or her own account.
