To all Shepherds degree students, please consider applying for the Shepherds Tuition Grant-in-Aid program.  The attached form is self-explanatory, but if you have questions, please contact Jo-Ellen Platt at 573-1555 (jplatt@shepherds.edu) or Sam Winchester after July 5 at 573-1552 (swinchester@shepherds.edu).  Feel free to have the application expand beyond the single page attached.  This application covers courses taken from July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010. 

We would like to have all applications completed and returned by August 15.  The Scholarship Committee will respond to applicants by early September. 

Funds for the Tuition Grant come from private donors and thus are limited. However every effort will be made to respond to those in greatest need.

Mrs. Lucy Burggraff has begun work to develop the capability for Shepherds students to participate in the Title IV Federal Financial Aid Program. STS has made application to the Department of Education and we hope to be approved by the Fall, 2010. Title IV approval would provide Federal Stafford Loans, Federal Loan Deferments, and an annual Tuition Tax Credit for our students. We urge those students that might be interested in these programs to begin preparations by using the extensive web network to educate themselves on eligibility requirements and payment plans.

We look forward to another challenging year with you at the Seminary,

Sam Winchester, Ph.D.

Chair, Faculty Scholarship Committee
