Congregational and Family Systems Academy students pay a discounted price to attend the Monday morning classes. Students in the Academy have the opportunity, upon application, to transfer into the Post Graduate Clergy Certificate Program, which includes additional courses, clinical work with clients in Council for Relationships’ clinics, and clinical supervision, in preparation for license eligibility as Marriage and Family Therapists.
Students in the Academy who are accepted into the Post-Graduate Clergy Certificate program will retroactively pay the difference in tuition cost between their discounted class pricing and the full price of the classes. This payment will be due at the time of the transition from Congregational Family Systems to the Clergy track.
Tuition Grant
Our Tuition Grant consists of donor contributions and is based on need on a first-come-first-serve basis. Council for Relationships is not a Title IV organization. Therefore, tuition is not tax deductible. Please check with your tax advisor for further information.
Note: Priority will be given to clinical/clergy track students and students taking two or more courses per term.
