What Members Receive
** Member churches receive two 50% tuition-only scholarships from the Liberty Theological Seminary for church employees. Students eligible for this benefit must be full-time or part-time/bi-vocational church employees. The LCN scholarship covers no more than the minimum hours required in the program at each degree level, i.e., master’s or doctoral, in the Liberty Theological Seminary programs of the University. The benefit does not cover institutes or certificate programs or the EdD degree: : https://www.liberty.edu/online/programs/
Member churches donate monthly to LCN to receive the scholarship, which gives the student employee a 50% tuition-only discount (does not include fees). Many member churches choose to pay the balance of a student’s tuition bill and fees as a benefit of serving as a church employee, enabling a student to receive a full tuition scholarship as a staff member.
