Nashotah House is committed to making seminary education affordable for the Christian leaders of tomorrow. Seminarians have access to funding from a variety of sources including internal scholarships, external scholarships, and student loans.
Each year students are required to submit a financial aid request to the seminary in order to receive scholarships. Nashotah House utilizes the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) for those loans and other governmental programs that require it.
If you are a current or prospective student with questions about how scholarships might apply to your particular situation, please contact at the link below.
Contact AdmissionsNashotah House will match 100% of funds raised by degree-seeking students from institutional sources up to 30% of his or her total tuition. Institutional support must come from an organization – such as a parish, diocese, or employer – rather than individuals. The Matching Grant is available to any and all degree-seeking students.
Numerous groups have scholarship funds to support theological education. A selected list is below. Students are encouraged to apply even for scholarships for which they are not explicitly eligible; many organizations fail to attract applications and have excess funds to distribute.
External ScholarshipsTo apply for a Federal Student Loan, please apply online and you will be directed to complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). Students will need to complete the FAFSA online each academic year, by July 30.
1). Be accepted into a Nashotah House degree program:
For acceptance into the STM and DMin degree programs, students must hold either an MDiv or an equivalent degree.
For acceptance into the MTS program, students must hold a Bachelor’s degree.
For acceptance into the MDiv, MM, and MPM a Bachelor’s degree is also required; however, the seminary accepts a limited number of students into these professional degree programs who have not earned a Bachelor’s degree, providing the applicant is a minimum of 28 years of age, submits an academic paper of at least seven (7) pages, submits MAT or GRE scores, provides a bishop’s letter granting permission to study, provides documentation of life experiences, noting vocational and spiritual development, and completes the degree application. Applicants who do not hold a Bachelor’s degree may not be eligible for Title IV Federal aid.
Students in the Diploma in Anglican Studies program are not eligible for Title IV Federal aid.
2). Be registered as at least a half-time enrollment and maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress;
3). Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online.
4). Make a written application through the Nashotah House Financial Aid and Scholarship Request Form.
In addition to submitting the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) online, students must complete the online Entrance Counseling, and sign the Master Promissory Note (MPN). The school code for Nashotah House is G03874 (studentaid.gov). The award letter provided by the Financial Aid Office will include information related to loan eligibility. A student may initially choose to decline a loan or accept less than offered, provided the initial award is unchanged. A student may receive the declined loan funds later, to the specified level of eligibility.
If a student accepts a loan then subsequently receives an unanticipated scholarship not included in the award letter, the addition of which causes total financial aid to exceed the cost of attendance, the student’s loan eligibility will decrease and future loan disbursement will be canceled or adjusted.
Students can access information regarding loans directly from a lender, generally on the lender’s website. Once a private loan has been approved, the seminary will be notified by the lender to certify the loan. For assistance in calculating maximum loan eligibility, students should contact the Nashotah House Financial Aid Office.
