Admissions
Welcome to Austin Seminary!
You’re called not only to serve but to lead. Austin Seminary will equip you with the knowledge, understanding, and wisdom you need to inspire meaning, build bridges in cross-cultural communities, and meet the changing needs of today’s ministry.
One of the things that always made me hesitant to attend seminary was the cost … other schools talked a lot about how to take out student loans. Austin Seminary talked a lot about scholarships and how to receive financial aid. The 90% financial aid most students receive seemed like a huge help and was enough to sell me on Austin Seminary. The emphasis the Seminary places on financial help for students is unparalleled.
