Tuition, Fees and Scholarships
2010-2011
All full-time Beeson M. Div. and M.T.S. students are considered for endowed scholarship support. Full-time status is defined as 9-16 credits each regular semester. A faculty committee distributes endowed scholarships on a merit-based system. Endowed scholarship awards are announced simultaneously with admission decisions.
For 2010-2011, the minimum scholarship award is $4250 per year. Approximately 35% of incoming Beeson students receive this award level. The John Wesley Beeson scholarship of $7000 per year is awarded to 28% of new students, and the Dean’s Scholarship of $9690 per year is awarded to 35% of new students. In other words, all full-time M.Div. and M.T.S. students receive scholarships covering between 40-100% of tuition costs.
