All students at St. Sophia Seminary enjoy a substantial reduction in actual expenses, since tuition covers only a part of the cost of their theological education. The reduction is made possible in part by services contributed by faculty members, as well as voluntary charitable contributions from Ukrainian Orthodox benefactors, parishes, and interested friends of the seminary.

Seminarians may also receive work-study grants, which offer financial remuneration for services rendered to the seminary or elsewhere within the Archdiocesan Center. A ten-hour work week is the maximum load that can be borne by the student under such circumstances.
Scholarships and grants are available to full-time seminarians preparing for the priesthood of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the U.S.A. from the following scholarship funds:

The METROPOLITAN JOHN SCHOLARSHIP FUND OF THE UKRAINIAN ORTHODOX LEAGUE of the U.S.A., by which the Vocations and Clergy Support Commission has chosen to honor Metropolitan John Theodorovich of blessed memory;

The METROPOLITAN ANDREW KUSCHAK SCHOLARSHIP FUND

The MAKAR WOLOSCHUK STIPEND FUND

The STEPOWYJ SCHOLARSHIP FUND

The REV. MYKOLA MOHUCHY STUDENT AID FUND

The IHUMEN GREGORY (WOOLFENDEN) MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP FUND

Seminarians from abroad will be granted financial support from available scholarship funds of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the U.S.A.

Additional information and applications are made available to the students upon entering the seminary in the fall semester of each academic year.
