Scholarships
Scholarship awards are made possible through the generosity of loyal contributors to the seminary. Erskine reserves the right to change a student’s award letter depending upon the receipt of additional institutional or outside scholarships, grants, and awards with specific endowment funds as needed. These scholarships are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis for the academic year to students who meet the following requirements:
- Students must complete and submit an ETS Scholarship application each academic year by the April 15 deadline
- Students must submit a “Letter of Good Standing”
- Students must submit all documentation required to become eligible (see application for instructions)
- Students must be enrolled in a degree program at least half-time (6 hours per term for master level students, and 3 hours per term for D.Min and Th.M students).
- Students must register for courses by the official registration deadline each semester or term
- Students must maintain satisfactory academic progress, as defined by their degree requirements
Students who drop a course(s) (prior to the drop/add deadline) or withdraw from a course(s) (after the drop/add deadline, but prior to the end of the semester) will lose their institutional scholarship for that course(s). The awards will be revoked and the students may be required to repay all or a portion of their institutional scholarship.
Erskine Theological Seminary scholarship funds are listed in an Appendix to the catalog.
