There is no doubt that a theological education is a large financial commitment for students.  With education costs rising yearly in Canada, Acadia Divinity College is happy to offer one of the lowest seminary tuitions in Canada.  In addition, ALL students who come to Acadia Divinity College receive automatic financial assistance:
  • full-time masters students (M.Div. & M.A.) receive a minimum of $1,800 per year
  • full-time BTh students receive a minimum of $1,650 per year
  • part-time students receive $100 for every 3-credit hours

That is math that every student can agree with!

In addition, there are a number of scholarships and bursaries available to ADC students from outside the College — see the Calendar for further information.
