The Near East School of Theology, formed in 1932 by the merger of the School for Religious Workers in Beirut and the School of Religion in Athens , is built upon a history of evangelical theological education in the Near East which goes back to 1835. In that year, Rev. William Thompson, later the author of The Land and the Book, founded in Beirut the first Protestant Seminary in the area. In 1843 the Seminary moved to Abey, in the mountain not far south of Beirut , under the leadership of Dr. Cornelius Van Dyck, translator of the Bible into Arabic. It offered classes in both theology and general education.

Financial Aid
The School makes every effort to find scholarship sources for church-sponsored candidates who cannot otherwise pursue their studies. To the extent of their resources, sponsoring churches are expected to contribute to the support of their students.
Generally speaking, the School does not grant scholarships to “pre-theology” students, or to those registered for the Diploma in Theological Studies. No scholarships are available for Special Students.
