Payment Plan Option
Hartford Seminary offers a payment plan option that allows students to pay tuition in equal monthly installments over the course of the semester. The Hartford Seminary Business Office administers the payment plan. The fee to cover administration of the plan is $40 per semester or summer session. To enroll, please bring $40 and the first monthly payment to the Business Office and complete the payment plan agreement. All bills for prior semesters must be paid in full prior to entering into the payment plan.
Financial Aid and Scholarships
Financial aid applications are available at the time of application. Students with special financial concerns or with a change in financial circumstances are encouraged to contact the Executive Assistant to the Dean at 860-509-9553 for more information about applying for financial aid.
Hartford Seminary currently offers two types of financial assistance to students: need-based and merit-based scholarships. There is a single application for both types of assistance.
Limited financial aid is available to matriculated students enrolled in Hartford Seminary degree programs. Eligible students may receive tuition aid up to 60% of annual course tuition. However, please note that the amount of financial aid available for distribution varies each year. Current students and new program applicants should obtain a statement of the financial aid policies and an application form from the Student Forms Center at 77 Sherman Street or from the online Student Forms Center accessible through the Seminary’s website.
The deadline for first round consideration for financial aid for the academic year, which begins with the fall semester, is June 1. Financial aid applications received after June 1 will be considered if funds are available. Students who are admitted to degree programs mid-year will be given priority for the remaining funds. Students are required to reapply for financial aid each year. Students are not guaranteed financial aid even if they received aid the previous year, and must maintain better than a B- grade point average to maintain eligibility.
Students may also be eligible for privately funded student loan programs. For more information please refer to www.teri.org (The Educational Resources Institute) or www.Chesla.org (Connecticut Higher Education Student Loan Agency).
