Seminary Financial Aid & Costs
Every seminarian deserves access to an affordable education. We have the resources to make it happen.
A top-quality seminary education is both accessible and affordable at Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary. We believe financial obstacles should never stand in the way of your learning or your call to ministry.
