Refund Policy
Financing Your Seminary Education
The refund of the unused portion of tuition, fees, and other charges for veterans or eligible persons who fail to enter a course, or withdraw, or discontinue a course prior to completion, will be made for all amounts paid which exceed the approximate prorata portion of the total charges that the length of the completed portion bears to the total length of the course. The proration will be determined by the ratio of the number of days or hours of instruction completed by the student to the number of instructional days or hours in the course.
Knox Seminary seeks to keep educational expenses as low as possible. While tuition amounts to only approximately one-third of the actual cost of operating the Seminary, we do everything we can to ensure that no student is turned away for financial reasons. Students who need financial assistance to meet the costs of master-level tuition are encouraged to apply for financial scholarship. A number of scholarships have been established through the generosity of families and friends who have been faithful supporters of Knox:

•
The Church Partnership Program This is a scholarship program whereby the Seminary joins together with the local church to support students and their financial and ministerial needs. The Seminary will match up to one-third of the cost of tuition provided by the church. In other words, if the Church contributes one-third and the student contributes one-third then the Seminary will contribute the final one-third of the tuition costs. Arrangements must be made through the Registrar’s office. This partnership helps keep the Seminary linked to local church ministries.
•
The Julia Abdullah Scholarship This scholarship was established in 1998 by one desiring to honor the memory of a woman whom he believed to be one of the finest Sunday school teachers he knew. The annual award is based on submission of the best essay entitled “How the Sunday/Church School Hour Can Be Made the Most Interesting Hour of the Week.” [Note: The essay must be submitted with the scholarship application to the Scholarship Committee (for review by faculty readers) no later than June 1 each year. The essay must be a minimum of 2500 and no more than 3000 words in length.]
