PAYMENT OF ACCOUNT

Granting of a diploma or certificate will be withheld from students who have not settled their account.

 
WORK SCHOLARSHIPS
A limited number of work scholarships are available to students who have definite financial needs. These will normally be awarded to regularly enrolled students taking 12 hours or more.
 
THE SONG FAMILY SCHOLARSHIP FUND
Michael and Elizabeth Song & Family offer an annual scholarship to seminary students in the Master of Divinity program. Interested applicants may fill out a form for consideration and review by the Board.
 
HOME CONGREGATION
The Seminary encourages home congregations to consider a minimum gift of $500 per academic year.
However, many congregations exceed that amount and some even set a goal to cover tuition costs.
 
GOOD STANDING
A student enrolled in the M. Div. Program of study is considered in good standing if allowed to continue in that program at American Theological Seminary.

 
SATISFACTORY PROGRESS
Satisfactory progress is defined as successfully completing course requirements for 75% of the number of credits for which a student enrolls and receives financial aid each semester, thereby making it possible for a student to
make good progress toward a degree or certificate objective.
¡°Successfully completing course requirements¡± is interpreted to mean that a grade of at least D- or S is received by a student.
 
FINANCIAL AID ELIGIBILITY WARNING STATUS
When a student does not successfully complete 75% of the number of credits for which funding is approved during the term, financial aid eligibility warning status is imposed.
Aid automatically continues through one semester of financial aid eligibility warning status. If a student does not make satisfactory progress during the term of financial eligibility warning status, the student¡¯s eligibility for financial aid in later semester is terminated.
 
REFUNDS
Students who withdraw from the Seminary during any academic term may receive a refund on tuition for that term, according to the following schedule. Interim and seasonal studies will be subject to proportionate adjustment.
