Financial Aid
Deacons Formation Collaborative (DFC) and Pathways for Baptismal Living Students
Bexley Seabury has created the Wisdom Circle for dioceses who want to support students in the Deacon Formation Collaborative's (DFC) program and/or who want to take courses on the Pathways for Baptismal Living platform. Membership provides perks for both programs. Member dioceses receive tuition discounts on the DFC Program as well as discount codes to use for Pathways courses. To learn more, contact Julie Lytle, Director of Distributive and Lifelong Learning Initiatives, or Hailey Mckeefry, Director, Deacons Formation Collaborative.
Master’s-level and Doctoral Students
Through the substantial support of donors and our historic endowment funds, Bexley Seabury can provide institutional financial aid for students with demonstrated need. Need-based institutional aid may be available for students in the following programs: Master of Divinity (MDiv), Doctor of Ministry in Congregational Development (DMin), Diploma in Anglican Studies (DAS), Certificate in Theological Studies (CTS), and Certificate in Church Planting and New Christian Communities (CPP).
Bexley Seabury can facilitate Federal Student Aid for students in the DMin and MDiv programs. Please direct Federal aid questions to our Financial Aid Administrator at finaid@bexleyseabury.edu.
Veterans may apply benefits toward the DMin and MDiv programs. See the Financial Aid Policy and Veterans Benefits section of the Bexley Seabury Student Handbook, found here. Contact Susan Quigley, Registrar and Certifying Official, with questions.
Students are encouraged to continue to seek other assistance, including additional scholarships and church or Diocese support. We recommend learning more about the scholarships offered by the Society for the Increase of Ministry (SIM) by clicking here.
Financial Aid Application Process
Any Master’s-level or Doctoral student applying for financial aid should review the Financial Aid policy and the Satisfactory Academic Progress policy in the BSSF Student Handbook, found here.
Submit a financial aid application, which is available to download here to lbowers@bexleyseabury.edu.
Complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Enter Bexley Seabury’s FAFSA code (G37473) to expedite the delivery of your assessment to our Financial Aid office.
Whether you are applying for institutional or Federal aid, you must complete both steps. If you want to be considered for both, you need only submit one financial aid application. Financial aid will not be finalized until all requested documentation is received.
