Tuition & Fees

Our Commitment to Affordability

At Grace, we believe you shouldn’t have to leave seminary with a degree wrapped in debt. That’s why Grace works hard to provide the highest-quality theological education at a price you can afford. Through the support of our generous donors, Grace offers tuition that is more than 50% less than the seminary average, making theological degrees available and accessible to students in the U.S. and beyond.

The tuition and fee information listed below pertains to both online and on-campus students. However, do not be dissuaded if the costs below seem out of your reach. As a ministry, we have worked diligently to develop scholarships for our students that can further reduce the cost of an education at Grace.

Officially Dropping a Course

Official drop means that the approved procedure to withdraw from a course was followed by the student. To drop a course during the registration period, the student must contact the Registrar. Once registration has ended, the student must contact his/her academic advisor. The advisor will initiate the Withdrawal/Drop Form in Populi, a link to the form will be sent to the student’s email for completion, and then once the student submits the form it will be processed by Student Success and the Registrar’s Office. This applies to all courses, irrespective of delivery mode or course length.
