The annuall fund is our largest need of funding and is probably the least understood by most people. It is in a sense, a 'catch-all' category and includes everything from salaries for our faculty and staff to heating, cooling and lighting our classrooms. We try to run a lean operation so that your gifts are used as wisely as possible to help us operate the seminary.
Yearly need: $3,000,000.00
Our goal is to keep tuition costs as low as possible for our students. This allows more students to be able to afford to study at Westminster and keeps student loans down too. However, the cost of running a seminary is far greater than what tuition covers and so we seek the support of our friends and alumni to help make up the difference. Provided below is a diagram giving a general overview of our income and expenditures for the seminary.
