Tuition assistance and the diaconate academic program

The tuition and fees for the pre requisite classes are the responsibility of the student. Students are free to file for financial aid through Sacred Heart Major Seminary.

After the applicant is accepted into candidacy, the Diaconate Office pays the undergraduate rate plus the term registration fee. For graduate level courses, the candidate is responsible to pay the rate difference. Students are welcome to apply for financial aid through Sacred Heart Major Seminary for further assistance.

Please contact the Financial Aid Office for assistance at (313) 883-8692.
