Benevolence Fund Available to Students Impacted by Wildfires
In response to the devastating wildfires affecting our communities throughout the West Coast, Western Seminary wants to make all students aware of our Benevolence Fund. This fund was established to help students with unexpected financial hardships in times such as these.
Because of the unprecedented emergencies, we have streamlined the process for requesting support. If you are a student experiencing financial hardship as a result of these events, we encourage you to apply for aid via our online form. (Please note you will need to log in with your Western Seminary credentials to access the form.)
