Record Enrollment for North Park Seminary
CHICAGO, IL (September 16, 2002) - For the second consecutive year, North Park
Theological Seminary (NPTS) will have a record number of students for the
fall term, according to the admissions department.
Total enrollment for the fall class of 2002-03 is 69 new students - last
year the school had 64 entering students. The Presidential Scholarship
Committee reported that 40 qualified individuals applied for 20
scholarships. It is possible that more scholarships may be available in the
spring term, said Michele Stanley, seminary development coordinator.
The generosity of seminary friends, alums and churches met the financial
challenge of the past fiscal year (ending June 30th). The amount given
toward the Annual Fund and the Presidential Scholarship Initiative totaled
$794,164.01 - an increase of $146,961.91 over last year. The Challenge
grant (a three-year matching grant initiative) of $120,000 was
matched with new money received by those increasing their giving and from
new donors. This year's matching goal for the Challenge Grant is $100,000.
The seminary currently is developing promotional materials to send to
Covenant churches throughout North America. For more information about NPTS
or to
