Kenrick Glennon Seminary

What is the cost of studying for a year at Kenrick Glennon Seminary?

For the 2024-25 reporting year, Kenrick Glennon Seminary reported full-time graduate tuition of $32,780 and required graduate fees of $220 for both in-state and out-of-state students. Together, those published charges total $33,000 before living costs, books, transportation and personal expenses. They are graduate figures, not a quoted price for every applicant or for Glennon College.

Published charges are also different from an individual seminarian's out-of-pocket cost. A sponsoring diocese or religious community may have its own arrangements for tuition and living expenses. Applicants should obtain a written, current-year explanation of who pays each charge, what support continues during breaks or assignments, and what financial responsibilities remain if formation ends early.

When comparing offers, keep tuition and mandatory fees separate from housing and dining so those costs are not counted twice. Ask for the current cost-of-attendance budget and the terms of any sponsorship or aid; the historical graduate tuition figure should not be treated as a current all-in annual estimate.

What are the work-study opportunities at Kenrick Glennon Seminary?

Seminary formation includes practical ministry experience, but that should not be confused with a paid student job or Federal Work-Study. Pastoral assignments may be required for formation even when they do not provide wages.

An applicant who needs employment should ask the financial-aid or business office whether eligible students can use Federal Work-Study, whether other campus jobs are offered and whether outside work is permitted under the formation schedule. Federal Work-Study, where available, is need-based employment with eligibility and funding limits; it is not an automatic tuition discount. Sponsorship arrangements may also affect whether paid work is necessary or allowed.
