Frequently Asked Questions

Is it affordable?

All students receive a Taylor scholarship of $6,000, making the entire two year program only $12,000. Financial aid is available.  Ministry partners may also grant up to $6,000 in scholarships for residents in their program, cutting the total cost in half to only $6,000.

When can I start?

You can begin the next MAM course immediately after your acceptance. The onboarding dates for a residency program are January, June, and September.

Am I able to have a part-time job outside of my residency?

Yes. In fact, we encourage it as a way to make ends meet. However, as you arrange your schedule, you will need to prioritize the hours of your residency and find part-time work that can accommodate that schedule. All of our residents have been able to make this arrangement work.

Am I eligible to apply to the residency if I’m married?

Yes. We have married residents in the program.

Is this program online or residential?

The entire program is face to face, meeting on Thursday afternoons with Taylor Faculty at various sites in the greater Indianapolis and Fort Wayne area.
