Aquinas Institute of Theology is committed to educating the next generation of theologically well-formed ministers to serve the US Church in fulfillment of their mission to “educate men and women to preach, to teach, to minister, and to lead.” Students applying to one of Aquinas Institute of Theology’s three core degree programs will be considered for three merit-based scholarship awards offered to potential full-time lay students. An applicant must be a new, full-time student, a graduate of an accredited college or university with a GPA of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale, have experience in a ministerial setting, and have a strong interest in and commitment to ministry and leadership in the Christian community. Applicants must commit to residing in St. Louis full-time for the duration of the program.
