Boston University, based in Boston Massachusetts, offers a funded Master’s in Theological Studies. The MTS degree program attracts those for whom the academic study of theology is itself a fulfilling—even spiritual—exercise. The department also offers MDiv, MSM, MARPL, and STM degrees. Almost all Boston University School of Theology Master’s and Ph.D. students receive a partial or full-tuition scholarship. They are renewable each year, contingent upon the annual evaluation of the recipient’s grade point average. Additional merit fellowships are set aside to reward academic excellence and extra-curricular distinction. Different deadlines by program – check website.
