Saint Vladimirs Orthodox Theological Seminary

What is the cost of studying for a year at Saint Vladimirs Orthodox Theological Seminary?

For the 2024-25 academic year, reported full-time graduate tuition at Saint Vladimir's was the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Published tuition and required fees are only part of an annual budget: housing, food, books, transportation, health coverage, and personal expenses can materially change what an individual needs to finance.

• Full-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $13,000 for in-state or out-of-state students.
• Required full-time graduate fees, 2024-25: $860.
• Part-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $542 per credit for in-state or out-of-state students.

Adding the reported full-time tuition and required fees gives $13,860 for 2024-25, before living and other educational expenses. That is not an all-inclusive cost of attendance or a quote for a later year. Students should request the current program-specific budget and a financial aid offer before comparing options.

Possible financing includes institutional assistance, outside scholarships, and federal graduate loans for students who meet the applicable eligibility rules. Military education benefits may also apply to eligible recipients; reported graduate military benefits averaged $13,860 in 2024-25, which is an average for recipients, not an award available to every student. Graduate students should not build a budget on undergraduate-only grants such as the federal Pell Grant.

What are the work-study opportunities at Saint Vladimirs Orthodox Theological Seminary?

Student employment can help with expenses, but a campus job should not be confused with a scholarship or a guaranteed part of an aid package. Applicants interested in working while enrolled should ask the seminary's financial aid and administrative offices about current paid positions, hiring procedures, and whether Federal Work-Study positions are offered.

Federal Work-Study, when available, is a need-based student employment program: an award establishes eligibility to earn wages through an approved job, rather than placing the full award in a student's account at once. Ordinary part-time work may have different eligibility and funding rules. Seminary students should also consider how paid hours would fit coursework, chapel participation, field education, and any ministry responsibilities.
