• 2024-25 full-time graduate tuition: $21,576.
• 2024-25 required graduate fees: $1,184.
• 2024-25 part-time graduate tuition: $899 per credit hour.

These figures are not a complete cost of attendance or a current-year price quote. Housing, food, books, transportation, and personal expenses can add substantially to a student's budget; course load and program requirements also affect the total. Applicants should compare the tuition schedule for their enrollment year with a personalized aid offer and an estimated living budget. Graduate students should not assume that undergraduate net-price figures or Pell Grant rules apply to them.

Financing may include institutional scholarships, eligible federal graduate loans, outside awards, and qualifying military education benefits. Award terms matter: a scholarship may require a particular course load, while borrowing creates a repayment obligation. The seminary's financial aid office can clarify application steps and how an award would apply to a specific program.

What are the work-study opportunities at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary?

Students interested in paid work should distinguish an ordinary part-time job from Federal Work-Study. Federal Work-Study is a need-based aid program for eligible students; receiving an award does not itself guarantee a position or pay a tuition bill directly.

Graduate students can ask Garrett-Evangelical's financial aid office whether Work-Study is available for their program and how eligibility is determined. They should ask separately about seminary jobs, approved off-campus work, and field-education placements: a placement that earns academic credit is not necessarily paid employment. Students typically need to apply for an available job and complete employment paperwork before earning wages.
