Because the Southern Baptist Convention strongly supports theological education, gifts from churches through the Convention's Cooperative Program provide the financial foundation for our students. In 2004, the Cooperative Program provided approximately $4,400 per student. As a result, matriculation fees are significantly subsidized. For more information concerning scholarships and financial aid, click here. Schedule of Matriculation and Other Fees Listed below are 2008-2009 fees applicable to students attending Southeastern. Expenses for food, insurance, travel and personal needs are not included. Privileges for the use of the library, Ledford Center and recreation facilities, with the exception of the golf course, are included in the student service fee. It is estimated that textbooks will cost approximately $100 per class. All student accounts, including the fees listed below, must be paid in full or enrolled in a payment plan prior to the payment deadline for each semester. A monthly payment plan (ACH) is available for fall, spring and summer sessions. ACH payments are those payments you have authorized FACTS Tuition Management Company to process directly with your financial institution. It is simply a bank-to-bank transfer of funds that you have pre-approved for your expenses at Southeastern Seminary. Students wishing to enroll in a monthly payment plan must complete the online application, may be required to make a minimum down payment of up to 30 percent and will be charged a FACTS enrollment fee.  A student must take at least 9 hours in the graduate programs or 12 hours in the college to be considered a full-time student.
