Catholics and Greek Orthodox Give Better Education Deals

Young Ichabod received a full scholarship, a fellowship, and a chance to see Joe Montana play quarterback.
The Concordias charge a fortune, but they lack a football team and real scholarships.

I did some research on the top eight most expensive seminaries, and it seems the headline on this post ought to read that the LCMS seminaries are the 6th and 8th most expensive seminaries in N America, or maybe even 5th and 7th most expensive. The reason is that anyone a Catholic accepted into Notre Dame's M.Div program receives a full scholarship--and that's worth $120,000. Also, McAffee School of Theology knocks down their tuition charge for everyone from $835 to $335 per credit hour.

I know that Ft. Wayne and St. Louis offered fairly generous scholarships in the past, but had to dial those back after a few years since money was getting tight. Those blanket grants to student never come close to paying half their student bill, and do even less now, I believe, and besides that, there's nothing about any grant to every student on either seminary's web site.

Vanderbilt provides scholarships that range from full tuition plus stipend to just one-third off tuition, but doesn't say whether every student receives a scholarship:

GJ - The smells and bells Lutherans ought to consider conversion before entering seminary, to save themselves from a huge pile of student debt. Notre Dame gave me a full scholarship for the entire PhD program, plus a fellowship for several years to provide extra income.
