Class Gift

For many years the graduating class has collected money as a gift for the benefit of future students at DTS.

The 2023 graduating class has the opportunity to “pass it back” to students still in the process of completing their seminary training by contributing to a new graduating class scholarship fund.

More information regarding this scholarship fund coming soon.

Congratulations to our
2023 graduates!
