SALT LAKE CITY, May 4, 2004– Salt Lake Theological Seminary today announced that its Master of Divinity, Master of Arts, and Doctor of Ministry programs have been approved for veterans educational benefits under the terms of the Montgomery G.I. Bill, Selected Reserve, Veterans Educational Assistance Program, and Survivors’ and Dependants’ Educational Assistance Program. Approval is effective retroactively to July 1, 2003.
