Denver Seminary works with the Department of Veterans Affairs to ensure that eligible recipients of veterans educational benefits obtain the assistance that is available.
Please see our Budget Worksheets for the Doctor of Ministry, Masters of Arts/Master of Divinity, and Master of Theology programs to help you compare Denver Seminary to other schools. This document outlines the basic costs of attending our school along with the standard financial aid options available should additional aid be needed beyond what is provided by your veteran’s educational benefits. You’ll find a basic version of the Shopping Sheet with information on Cost of Attendance and loan options. Scholarships and Work Study availability varies from student to student – check in with the financial aid office to find out more about what you might qualify for. You can also use our Financial Aid Calculator to assist you in this process. (Note: the calculator will be updated with new rates this coming summer.)

Federal Tuition Assistance
The Federal Tuition Assistance program is a program that pays up to $250 per credit for tuition and authorized fees for active-duty military members. This amount is determined solely by the service branches.
All active-duty members using tuition assistance from the military should first speak to their Educational Services Officer (ES) or educational counselor within their branch of the service prior to enrolling as a student at Denver Seminary.
TA Enrollment Process
Once you have spoken with your Educational Services Officer within your branch of service and you have been accepted into the Seminary, you will then enroll in classes.
Students then will complete paperwork required by their branch of service in order to secure their tuition assistance.
Email your approved Tuition Assistance to financialaid@denverseminary.edu for each term of enrollment.
Once we receive your approved form, we will post your benefit to your financial aid awards as a pending award until we receive payment from the branch of service.
