Emergency Financial Assistance

There are resources available through the Seminary Student Services Office which provide targeted and temporary assistance to students facing unusual financial challenges.

A deacons’ fund is available to help students in emergency financial situations. Periodic collections and other fundraising support this fund. Money from this fund is intended as a grant and repayment is not required.

The Carl Eric Wiberg Memorial Crisis Fund was established in 1984 through gifts of his family and friends in the wake of his untimely death. The fund is intended to provide an outright grant to students of North Park Theological Seminary who find themselves in crisis situations, normally of a medical nature.

The Soudah Student Loan Fund was established in 1999 in memory of Rev. Peter E. Soudah and Eden Ebenholtz Soudah. This general seminary student loan fund was established by several donors. Seminary students in temporary financial need may apply for a loan from these funds.
