Financial Aid for Extension Students

Trinity Evangelical Divinity School offers a limited number of financial aid options to help students pay for expenses in the Extension program. Please review the options listed below carefully because each option may require the fulfillment of a number of criteria.

Tuition & Payment

Class payments are made to the extension sites directly. For tuition information, please see the site pages.

Extension and Site Discounts

In recognizing the financial constraints that nontraditional students are under in affording graduate level education, courses taken through Trinity extension are discounted from the regular cost of tuition charged at the Deerfield campus. Also, a number of the church-based extension sites offer further site discounts to enable students to enroll in Trinity courses for academic credit.

Full-time Ministry Rebates

The Full-time Ministry Rebate is available to all full-time persons in ministry positions (paid staff, at least 35 hours her week), enrolled in Trinity’s Master of Arts in Christian Studies (MA/CS) program or the Certificate in Christian Studies program who are taking courses for academic credit at an extension location or through Distance Education. This is a first-come, first-served financial assistance program, which means that this rebate is available until the designated funds for this rebate are depleted. To receive this benefit, the following are required:

1. Enrollment in the MA/CS or Certificate programs as an Extension student (Note: Visiting students and Deerfield program students are not eligible for this rebate)

2. The completion of the appropriate Full-Time Ministry Application (see below)

3. A letter from the church or parachurch organization on official letterhead and signed by an officer of the church or parachurch ministry, other than the student applying for the rebate, indicating the full-time ministry position and hours, and
