Lexington Theological Seminary

What is the cost of studying for a year at Lexington Theological Seminary?

For the 2024-25 academic year, reported graduate tuition at Lexington Theological Seminary was the same for in-state and out-of-state students. These figures describe published educational charges, not the full amount an individual student will spend.

• Full-time graduate tuition: $9,120 for the academic year.
• Required full-time graduate fees: $300 for the academic year.
• Part-time graduate tuition: $480 per credit hour.

On those reported figures, full-time tuition and required fees total $9,420 for 2024-25. That calculation does not include books, technology, transportation, travel for required in-person sessions, lodging, or ordinary living costs. It should not be carried forward as a current-year quote without checking the applicable tuition schedule. A student's eventual cost also depends on course load, program length, scholarships, and any aid for which the student qualifies.

Graduate students generally should not budget for undergraduate-only aid such as Federal Pell Grants. Applicants can ask the seminary's financial aid office about its current scholarships, application steps, deadlines, federal-aid participation, and counseling on borrowing before comparing offers.

What are the work-study opportunities at Lexington Theological Seminary?

Students at Lexington Theological Seminary may combine study with paid work, but a regular job, a ministry placement, and Federal Work-Study are different arrangements. A placement required for academic credit should not be assumed to provide wages.

Federal Work-Study, where offered by an eligible institution, is a need-based aid program that pays a student for approved work; it is not a grant credited in full to a tuition bill. Ordinary part-time employment has separate hiring and payroll rules. Applicants seeking either option should ask financial aid and the relevant academic program which positions are open to seminary students, whether a FAFSA is required, and whether a proposed ministry role may also satisfy field-education requirements.
