Please copy and paste from a word processing program into the text boxes below, do not type directly into the boxes below.

The School of Divinity seeks to invest in students who demonstrate clear ministry vision and determination for high-impact ministry. Discuss your own vision for ministry and indicate why you believe the School of Divinity should make a financial investment in your ministry training. Be sure to include how your seminary degree will assist you in pursuing your vision.

Careful planning is an integral part of graduate-level study. Please indicate in detail how you plan to finance your seminary education. Include all personal contributions and additional sources of aid that you plan to utilize in funding your program.
