Enrollment Increases at North Park Theological Seminary

CHICAGO, IL (November 9, 2001) - Enrollment has again increased at North Park Theological Seminary, with a total of 497 students enrolled in all programs for the 2001-2002 academic year.

Of the total enrollment, 197 students are studying on campus, including visiting students. The incoming class of 53 students includes 20 Presidential Scholars, bringing to 50 the number of Presidential Scholars enrolled in the seminary.

Presidential Scholarships pay 100 percent of tuition costs, based on one's previous academic and ministry histories. The seminary raised nearly $650,000 for the scholarships during the past fiscal year (ending June 30), with plans calling for $850,000 to be raised for the upcoming fiscal year.

An anonymous donor recently gave the seminary a $300,000 grant, which will be dispersed over the next three years. It is considered a matching fund gift to encourage new contributions or increases in existing donations.

Additional seminary scholarships will be available to students next spring. For more information, call the seminary admissions office at 800-964-0101 or email the office at semadmissions@northpark.edu. A Presidential Scholarship application form can be downloaded from the seminary's website at www.northpark.edu/sem/admiss/presschol.html.
