such federal government regulations as may apply to amounts and to effective

Other Expense

Each student is required to have some form of hospitalization insurance
acceptable to the faculty. Students may purchase the group insurance which
is normally offered to the student body or they may purchase insurance
through other sources.

Each student is required to pay any fees incurred in connection with
clinical pastoral education. The fee for the Hospital Practicum is $15.00.

All graduating students will be required to pay a Diploma Fee of $10.00.

The amount of money needed for books, travel, recreation and incidental
expenses will vary according to the habits of the student. A Book Store is
operated on campus and students receive discounts on purchases made there.

HOUSING

Unmarried Students

Dormitory housing is available for unmarried students. Most of the rooms
are for double occupancy, many of them have connecting baths. All rooms
are fully furnished with the exception of linens. Laundry facilities are
provided.

Married Students Without Children

Suites of two rooms with private bath are available for married students
without children. These suites are fully furnished with the exception of
linens. Laundry facilities are provided. There are no facilities for cooking.

Married Students With Children

One, two and three bedroom unfurnished apartments are available for
married students with children. The rent for these apartments is from $50 to
$70 per month depending on the size of the apartment. Applications for
apartments should be made as early as possible.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Columbia Seminary attempts to provide financial assistance for any
Master of Divinity student who is in financial need.

The seminary Financial Aid Officer, James T. Richardson, will consult
with any student who wishes to discuss his financial situation. After
consultation, students may apply for financial aid. This financial assistance
may take the form of grants, work scholarships or loans. The Financial Aid
Committee considers each request separately and attempts to make the wisest
use of monies designated for financial assistance.

The student financial aid program is based upon the following
Principles of Student Financial Aid for Theological Education which have
been approved by the American Association of Theological Schools.

1. The primary purposes of a financial aid program for theological
students are to assist in their educational preparation for church
occupations, and to make possible the enrollment of promising
candidates by providing assistance to students who demonstrate
financial need.

2. The total amount of financial assistance offered a student should not
exceed the amount of his need.

3. Financial need is defined as the difference between the total cost of
attending a particular institution and the amount of the resources
available to the student.

4. Financial assistance consists of grants, loans, and employment.

5. The family of a student, whether the student is unmarried or married, is
expected to make every reasonable effort to assist the student with his
educational expenses.

6. The student himself is expected to provide a major share of his expense
through savings and other assets, through summer employment, and
through term-time work where feasible.

7. In the case of a married student with no children, the spouse who has
completed his or her formal education is normally expected to be
gainfully employed. The spouse's total earnings are to be considered as
part of the total family income. Because of the importance of this
source of income, student couples who hope for financial aid should
not normally anticipate that increased aid will offset loss of income
resulting from the wife having children.

8. The student's home church and presbytery should assist with the costs
of his preparation for a church occupation in cases where the student
demonstrates financial need and if such assistance is consistent with
denominational policy.

9. Since the principles of Christian stewardship apply to all Christians,
candidates should make provision in their financial estimates for gifts to
churches and charities out of their own earnings.

10. Financial assistance is granted on the basis of need on a year-to-year
basis, with re-application and review each year.

Second and third year students may expect to receive some remunera-
tion from supply preaching as it is available. This is supervised by the Director
of Field Education. Normally, first year students are not allowed to supply
pulpits.
