Finances

Policy

Odessa Theological Seminary receives no government subsidies and operates by means of voluntary donations of time and money from churches, missions, organizations, and individuals (including students).

Student scholarships

Unfortunately, due to a poor economical situation in Ukraine our students cannot cover the cost of their studies. What they can sacrificially contribute normally does not consist more than 50% of actual expenses for their education.

If you are interested in supporting the studies of OTS students, the information below will give you the cost of one student per one academic year:

• Bachelor of Theology (three-year full-time program) - $4,642
• Bachelor in Pastoral Ministry (four-year part-time program) - $1,905

Student financial policy

Each full-time student is asked to contribute $700 through the work-study program. This work-study program involves various kinds of campus labor and is overseen by department’s supervisor.

The remaining cost of the student’s education is to be contributed by the student in cash or by a donor. The Seminary helps students connect with potential donors.

Each part-time student is asked to contribute a minimum $50 in cash. Students of "Bachelor of Pastoral Ministry" are asked to contribute at least $100 cash per year. The total amount of student’s contribution is discussed with a student on individual base. The Seminary helps students connect with potential donors.

All school supplies, transportation, and off campus expenses are the responsibility of the student.

All required textbooks are provided on loan from the seminary library.
