Unless otherwise noted, the following information applies to students at all Denver Seminary campuses. TYPES OF FINANCIAL AID As stated in the terms and conditions, most institutional aid (grants, scholarships, discounts) require that applicants (1) demonstrate financial need (according to the FAFSA), (2) enroll full-time unless otherwise stated, and (3) be accepted into a degree program.
