Financial Aid
The Andover Newton Theological School Financial Aid Office understands that graduate education is expensive and is ready to assist all aid applicants in finding ways to meet individual program costs. We also recognize that school scholarship aid will not cover your full costs - students are encouraged to plan well and to continue to explore all church, family and private resources. Last, but not least, always feel free to call or write the Financial Aid Office for help with any financial aid concerns or questions.
Important Notice Regarding Changes to the Stafford Loan Program
Beginning in the 2010-2011 school year, Andover Newton will transition from the Federal Education Loan Program (FELP) Stafford loans to Federal direct lending Stafford loans. New students and first-time borrowers will need to complete entrance counseling and a master promissory note. (New students who already have a direct loan master promissory note on file need only complete entrance counseling.)
