Did You Know?
Both domestic and international students who attend the Winter Discernment Weekend will receive a $1,000 scholarship for their studies. This is above and beyond any aid you may already qualify for through FAFSA and SPU’s institutional aid. You simply need to complete a Seminary scholarship application and be admitted to and matriculate in Seattle Pacific Seminary.
