PTS maintains charges that are among the lowest in the nation; thus in effect, every student enrolled in PTS receives an automatic financial benefit of several thousand dollars.

A Beka Foundation Educational Fund provides low-interest loans to deserving students who need help in financing their seminary education at PTS. Students attending year-round (fall/spring) are eligible to apply for A Beka Foundation loans upon completion of 9 credit hours. Students who meet A Beka Foundation Educational Fund loan requirements may be permitted to borrow up to $2,000 per year for four years. Additional information for this program is available from:

The following scholarships have been made available to Seminary students by individuals wanting to help worthy students who are unable to pay their tuition without financial help. Students may pick up an application at the Business Office. The application deadline is April 1. Students are eligible to receive one scholarship each year (not to exceed $4,000 during four years of attending PTS).

The spring Reservation Fee for returning students is due December 17, 2010. The fall Reservation Fee is due May 11, 2011, unless the student notifies the Seminary by May 6, 2011, that he is not returning. Students who plan to attend year round and who begin their work in the summer must pay the fall Reservation Fee by Friday, July 30, 2010.

This fee for residence hall graduate students covers student services and activities such as library, Fine Arts Series, athletic events, and yearbook. The fee for part-time town graduate students taking 1–11 hours does not include Fine Arts Series and yearbook. The Student Services Fee is payable with the first payment of each semester.

All students pay this nonrefundable fee each semester to help cover the cost of technology on campus. Each student, including town students, receives an on-campus e-mail address as well as limited Internet access. Wireless connections in the residence halls and in selected buildings on campus allow students convenient access to these services.

This fee ($100, plus tax, per semester, subject to change) covers phone rental, required maintenance, the ability to receive calls from the residence hall switchboard, on-campus calling, local calls, long-distance calls (400 minutes every 27-30 days), and voice mail. Other long-distance and information calls are billed separately on monthly statements and are due at the same dates as all other charges.

The basic cost may be paid by the semester. A payment plan of eight payments is also available to students who are U.S. citizens. Payments may be made by check, money order, Visa®, MasterCard®, or Discover®. Payments may be charged automatically to a credit card for students who apply for this service. We are unable to accept postdated checks or to hold checks. All students must pay the Student Services Fee; the Technology Fee; at least one fourth of the semester’s tuition, room and board; and the Telephone Services Fee by Aug. 1 [Jan. 17].

The installment payments are due as follows:

Midterm or final exams may not be taken unless a student’s account is completely up-to-date. Students paying their accounts more than nine days late are charged a $15 late fee. Students with accounts more than ten days in arrears may not be allowed to attend class until their accounts are made current. If after students have missed five class days their accounts are still not current, they may be required to discontinue enrollment.

Tuition, room and board, and fees for the summer program are due before registration. Students are expected to register for all their summer courses at the same time. The student will be charged a $5.50 Drop/Add fee for each course dropped or added after the initial summer registration. Payments for the exact amount may be made by check, money order, Visa®, MasterCard®, or Discover®. It is of great advantage to the student at registration to pay ahead of time. This may be done by mail, online, or upon arrival. (Since there may be miscellaneous charges added after registration, such as PTS Card or drop/add fees, the student is responsible to see that these are paid in order to receive his grade report for that session.) The only exception is full-time Christian workers Summer Payment Plan.

This plan is available to Seminary students who work full time in a Christian ministry, are not planning to attend Pensacola Theological Seminary year round, and who register for nine or more credits during the summer (this plan does not include May or August one-week modules). All conditional fees and one half the cost of tuition, room and board are to be paid on registration day. The balance of the tuition, room and board is to be paid in four equal payments on the following dates: October 4, November 1 and November 29, 2010; and January 17, 2011. Any payment that is more than nine days late will be charged a $15 late fee each month. Final session grades will be released upon full payment of the extended payment plan.

All students pay the nonrefundable Technology Fee each summer to help cover the cost of technology on campus. Each student, including town students, receives an on-campus e-mail address as well as limited Internet access. Wireless connections in the residence halls and in selected buildings on campus allow students convenient access to these services.
