In addition to scholarships, Stafford loans, and the TMS payment plan, there are other ways to finance your education at Dallas Theological Seminary.

Veterans Benefits

Eligible veterans may receive many of the GI Bill education benefits at Dallas Seminary. Further information is available from the Registrar's Office.

Foundation Grants

Some students have secured sizable grants by locating foundations associated with their parents, employers, regional areas, scholastic ability, or personal vocational interests. Before arriving on campus, students may research these options at a local library and on the Internet.

Student Ministries, Inc. (SMI)

This is a nonprofit national organization established to help theological students receive financial support in conjunction with involvement in a part-time ministry. Students seek to raise financial support from family, friends, and church. Donations are sent to SMI, where they are receipted and forwarded to the student as a monthly salary. This provides a means of financial support which is tax-deductible for contributors and enables students to be involved in significant ministry while in school. This source of income can be especially helpful for students to have previously been supported for ministries or mission work and have supporters who would like to help them continue in ministry on a part-time basis while they are in seminary.

United Parcel Service (UPS)

UPS offers 3,000-4,000 tuition reimbursement for employees. If you are interested in becoming an employee and pursuing this opportunity, contact Eric Day, a current DTS student and UPS employee at jeday@ups.edu.

Students with Physical Disabilities

Students in this category will also be considered for financial assistance by Student Financial Services, provided the necessary forms have been submitted.
