Student Financial Aid

• During the 2000/2001 school year student aid grants totaling over $1 million were awarded to students in need of financial assistance. The Fall semester of the 2001/2002 school year represented a milestone in which student enrollment exceeded 3,000 for the first time in the history of the Seminary. With increasing enrollment comes the increased need for student aid. Without such assistance, many of our students could not attend the Seminary.
  
• Endowed Scholarships: For a minimum of $1,000 a student aid scholarship can be endowed. Gifts and interest are returned to the corpus until the endowment reaches $10,000. At that time, two-thirds of the interest earned each year will be used to help students in financial need. The balance continues to grow the corpus.
  
• Endowed scholarships are an excellent means of honoring someone special in your life or memorializing a loved one. See commemorative gifts.
  
• As higher educational costs continue to escalate, it is imperative that new scholarship endowments are established to meet the needs of our students who are preparing for ministry.  Some current fund needs are:
  
  - International Student Scholarship Funds
  - Hispanic Student Scholarship Funds
  - African-American Scholarship Funds
  - General Scholarship Funds
  - North Georgia Student Scholarships
