“Where needed most”
At AMBS, “where needed most” means supporting the financial, spiritual and environmental sustainability of the seminary.
We rely on our Leadership Education Fund to provide appropriate learning facilities, meaningful worship opportunities and creation-friendly practices.
AMBS sources of income (fiscal year 2023-24)

A yearly investment
Leadership Education Fund gifts are yearly investments which ensure students have access to all the AMBS services they rely on—from the library to chapel services and composting.
Leadership Education Fund gifts directly impact students and enhance their freedom to learn. Currently, the average financial aid and scholarships awarded is more than 64% of total tuition. With your support, the percent of student borrowing has dropped from 20.4% of students in 2016 to only 6.5% of students borrowing in 2021.
