Accelerated Scholarship Program

We recognize that financial limitations sometimes prevent students from moving through a degree program as quickly as they would like. Palmer Seminary's Accelerated Scholarship Program (ASP) seeks to address this reality by providing scholarships in the form of reduced tuition for students who commit to completing their education in a specified period of time.

HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS

This scholarship program is possible because of the generosity of our donors. The amount of the scholarship award is based not on economic need or academic achievement. Rather it is tied to the time period during which a student commits to completing his or her degree. The amount of scholarship aid is reflected in the figures below, which compare regular tuition costs with tuition costs for ASP participants.

Students who opt for this program pay a per-semester tuition fee based on the time period they have chosen to complete the program. The amount remains constant through the course of the program regardless of how many courses (including January and summer courses) students choose to take.

Note: If for any reason a student is unable to complete the program within the chosen time frame, he or she may extend the time by paying a modest annual continuation fee. If an ASP student completes a degree program more quickly than the time period to which he or she committed, he or she will be required to meet all remaining financial obligations prior to graduating.
