Tuition Assistance
In some cases of financial need, Shalem is able to offer limited tuition reduction depending on your need and the number of other requests for assistance. We ask that you prayerfully consider the amount you are able to pay and the amount you are requesting. We encourage applicants to look for sources of funding from their churches or religious affiliations. If after prayerful consideration, you wish to be considered for reduced tuition, please submit a completed Tuition Assistance Form at the time of your application; the form is available here as well as provided in the downloadable PDF brochure form. (see below)
