Financial Aid and Payment

Costs and Fees

Tuition - Tuition for the Doctor of Ministry is $12,000. Students pay $500 upon enrolling in the program, and an additional $1,000 upon attending their first seminar (which is included in the tuition total). The remainder of the program fee may be paid in one of two ways:

• through a single tuition payment for the academic year ($4,000 or the unpaid balance of that amount the first academic year), or
• through a 36-month interest-free payment plan (approximately $295 per month). An annual fee of $60 is required for those using the monthly payment plan.

Textbooks, lodging, food, travel, and graduation costs are not included in the tuition fee.

Should a student need to extend their program beyond the normal four-year period, an extension fee of $150 per month will be required (up to a maximum of $1,800 per year), to cover the cost of ongoing supervision and other expenses.

(All fees are subject to change. Any subsequent changes will be announced separately. Application fee is waived for Anderson University graduates.)

The D.Min. program requires all students to have and use a computer with internet access.

Graduate School Financial Aid.

Financial Aid Office is committed to helping students find appropriate ways to finance their education.

Fully admitted, degree-seeking applicants may be considered for need and non-need Federal Stafford Loans and the Teacher Loan program. For more information on these programs, please go to the financial aid home page at www.andersonuniversity.edu.

Students interested in applying for loans should submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by all applicable deadlines. The FAFSA can be completed online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.

The University does not currently provide institutional scholarships for graduate students. A variety of private scholarships are available for students preparing for ministry, and D.Min. students are encouraged to apply for such aid.
