PART I: PROCEDURES

The research doctoral grant is provided to PhD students of good standing during the first 8 semesters of their study at Southwestern Seminary. All research doctoral students in good standing may receive the grant which is in the amount of $300 per semester. To receive the grant, a student must apply using this form. Application need only be made once. The grant will automatically be applied to the student’s account against tuition for up to 8 semesters. The following guidelines will apply:

1. The grant will only apply against tuition charges. Therefore the grant will not be given when a student is on leave of absence or in any semester in which a student does not pay tuition. Should a student's registration bill be paid in full by other sources (i.e. spousal benefit, outside foundations, etc.) the doctoral grant will not be released for other use and will be forfeited.

2. The student must be in good standing in order to receive the grant. The grant will not be given when a student is on probation. If a student is on probation, he or she will not receive the grant for that semester and that semester will count against the 8 eligible semesters.

3. All seminary charges must be paid in full before the start of any semester in order to receive the grant for that semester.

4. The student must at all times keep the doctoral office of his or her school informed of any change of address or marital status.

5. The student must read completely the doctoral handbook from his or her school and verify the reading by signing this application form in order to begin receiving the doctoral grant. If a student forgoes the grant at the beginning of his or her program, subsequent application may be received, but only for the remainder of the first 8 semesters of good standing in his or her program.

6. The Student Financial Aid Department must be contacted regarding changes in status, address, or marital status.
