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.
