### Merit **Scholarships**

CTSFW offers three merit-based scholarships: the Provost’s Scholarship, President’s
Scholarship, and Regents’ Scholarship. Each scholarship has its own criteria and
award amounts. Applications for all merit scholarships are due February 28, before
the first year of enrollment, and will be applied to your first Fall Quarter as 
a student.

### Additional **Resources**

CTSFW offers full tuition coverage to every student enrolled in a residential church
work program. This benefit, made possible through a combination of LCMS district
aid, outside scholarships, home congregation support, and CTSFW tuition grant funds,
covers all tuition charges required for the student’s degree program, including 
Summer and Fall Greek. 

All residential seminary students enrolled in at least seven credit hours, international
students, and those participating in a foreign exchange program, internship, or 
vicarage must enroll in the Concordia Health Plan (CHP) unless they qualify as eligible
opt-outs according to CHP guidelines.

To help students obtain all the necessary information to make informed choices in
their education, the US Department of Education requires various reports and pieces
of information to be made available. You will find that information here. Feel free
to contact us with any questions.
