The Sister Rose Thering Endowment for
Jewish-Christian Studies
Seton Hall University
Application for Graduate Course Tuition Award
This tuition award is designed for educators in public, private and parochial schools.
The Endowment encourages applicants to seek other sources for full or partial tuition payment if such funds are available.
The award does not constitute nor require acceptance for matriculation in the graduate degree program.
Teachers may seek assistance for up to 12 credits (usually 4 courses) through the SRT Endowment which can then be applied to matriculation in the graduate program upon acceptance into the degree program. A student may also request a Certificate of Completion of these 12 credits.
Seton Hall University offers the M.A. degree in Jewish-Christian Studies (JCST), which requires 36 credit hours, in the College of Arts and Sciences. Application to matriculate should be made directly to the Department.
