Scholarships

The Office of Enrollment Management at Perkins School of Theology is committed to serving you by providing information to secure the necessary financial resources to meet your educational goals and financial obligations. Our financial aid coordinator will offer personal attention to help explore a multitude of available scholarships and payment plans.

Deadlines for scholarships for Fall 2023 will be announced shortly.

Our goal is to help students with financial assistance who would not be able to receive theological preparation without aid. We expect that you and your family will contribute to the fullest extent of your ability from income and assets. When considering ways to fund your theological education, we encourage you to explore all possibilities and adhere to application submission dates. It is your responsibility to complete your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in a timely manner.

Keep in mind:

  • The FAFSA applications for federal and state financial aid for the 2023-2024 academic year are now available to submit.
  • SMU offers several monthly payment plans. Visit the Bursar’s website for payment due dates for 2023-2024 and other details.
