Welcoming New Faces to the Mountain
| |
The quiet days of summer have ended—Hamilton Hall is buzzing again with busy students! On Tuesday, August 23, 27 excited MDiv., MA, and DAS candidates celebrated their School of Theology matriculation. They represent 15 dioceses and hail from 13 states and two foreign countries. Your generosity brought them here! On average, they received $22,750 in financial aid. Our total amount of aid awarded for this academic year is $1.7 million. Your continued support helps to remove financial barriers and allows seminarians to pursue their calling without accumulating burdensome debt. Click the button below to support this talented group!
