The student work also saves staff expenses for the school by assisting faculty and staff with recruitment, maintenance, clerical duties, etc. Students and the seminary enter into a covenantal agreement that in return for the grant, the student will, upon leaving Bethany, support the seminary financially as they enter a salaried vocation. With the written permission of the student, the seminary Financial Aid Officer is glad to discuss a student's need for support with congregations and districts. When Bethany receives your application for enrollment, your pastor and District Executive will be contacted and will receive information about the Brethren Student Financial Aid Program. You also should plan to have conversations with both individuals to inform them of your intention to enter seminary.
Many congregations take great joy in sending a member to seminary.
Regular contact, expressions of interest and help with the financial burden are all important ways for them to be involved with the student. The seminary is committed to providing student aid regardless of the sending congregation's and district's ability to participate financially. You are thinking about graduate work at Bethany Theological Seminary. Pursuing a graduate degree involves a commitment of faith, time and financial resources. Only you can manage the faith and time commitments, but Bethany can assist you with financial resources.
