Graduating Class Scholarship

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 “pay it forward” to students still in the process of completing their seminary training by contributing to a new graduating class scholarship fund.

Donate to the graduating class scholarship fund and participate in the training and equipping of the next class of ministry leaders.

Congratulations to our
2024 graduates!
