Refund Policy
Students who withdraw, drop out, are dismissed, or otherwise cease enrollment prior to completing 60% of the semester or mini-term equivalent shall receive a refund equal to the percentage of the term remaining. Students who withdraw prior to the first day of classes shall receive a full refund of all payments except tuition deposits.
Aid recipients who change their course registration after the beginning of each semester
must notify the financial assistance office. Enrollment status is very important to
aid eligibility. Students who withdraw must also notify the financial assistance office.
Financial aid refunds due to withdrawal are calculated using the percentage of term

and refunds related to changes in enrollment status may be obtained from the Financial
Assistance Office and is also included in the graduate Student Handbook.

Financial Aid
Many seminary students receive financial assistance. We are fortunate to have a community of supporters who believe in the impact of an EMS education and who have given generously to offer financial aid and scholarships to help degree-seeking students.
Generous scholarships of up to 100% of tuition are awarded on the basis of academic
excellence, ministry service and leadership potential, and financial need. Scholarships
are extended to qualified students who are enrolled in a degree program at least part-time,
taking 5 or more credits each during fall and spring semesters. Financial aid packages
may include scholarship and/or grant awards from the seminary. Grants and scholarships
are contingent on availability of funds and qualified students.
A financial aid guide is provided to students at the time they receive admission to EMS. You will be notified of your scholarship award at the time of your admission offer. This guide will help you navigate your options, and the processes associated with securing the financial support you need.
