MTSO has just extended the deadline to July 15 for those who wish to apply and begin school in the coming Fall Semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn the midst of challenging times for the church, our supporters continue to step up in faith to make it possible for us to ensure full tuition coverage for students pursuing United Methodist ministry,\u201d said MTSO President Jay Rundell. \u201cThis has allowed us to extend our previous deadline for this pledge by two weeks.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MTSO\u2019s tuition pledge has two parts. First, the school\u2019s financial aid experts will assist each applicant in locating and applying for scholarships from numerous sources. Second, if scholarships from those sources don\u2019t cover an applicant\u2019s full tuition, MTSO and its donors will make up the difference \u2013 dramatically reducing the financial burden of pursuing a graduate theological degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pledge applies to every qualified prospective student who pursues United Methodist candidacy as an elder or deacon and applies to a master\u2019s degree program by July 15 for the 2019-20 academic year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interested prospective students are invited to learn more by contacting an MTSO admissions counselor at 800-333-6876 or&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:admissions@mtso.edu\">admissions@mtso.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Methodist Theological School in Ohio provides theological education and leadership in pursuit of a just, sustainable and generative world.
