Answering the call to the ministry and a post-secondary education requires not only a commitment to learning, study and prayer but also careful financial planning. Every post-graduate degree is expensive and the Master of Divinity required for ordination is no exception. St. Andrew’s College is aware that preparing for ordained ministry has become financially challenging for many current and potential candidates, and to assist in meeting the financial requirements of theological education at St. Andrew’s the college has established a Student Financial Assistance program with five pillars of support.
Friends of St. Andrew’s Bursary
St. Andrew’s College program students are automatically awarded the “Friends of St. Andrew’s Bursary” upon each course registration. This is automatically credited to the program student’s Populi account upon registration and the student is invoiced tuition after the bursary is applied. To see how the bursary is applied to each program, and to find the cost per course after the automatic bursary is applied, please refer to the College Fees page.
