DTS YL Logos Mash Up v1

The history of Dallas Theological Seminary and Young Life go back as far as the beginning. Jim Rayburn, the founder of Young Life, graduated from Dallas Theological Seminary in 1940 with the ThM degree. While our world has changed since 1940, DTS's mission to equip godly-servant leaders remains the same. DTS aims to Teach Truth and Love Well, and we believe Young Life exemplifies this heart.

JIM RAYBURN FULL-TUITION SCHOLARSHIP

Starting with the Fall 2022 semester, any full-time Young Life staff members are eligible for a full-tuition scholarship, and part-time staff members are eligible for a 50% tuition discount. These scholarships can be applied to these DTS master's degrees (except for MBTS and CGS).
