Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (SEBTS) received funding from the Federal Government due to the impact of COVID-19. At least 50 percent of the funds had to be used to provide emergency financial aid grants to students. The rest of the funds could be used for institutional needs that were associated with coronavirus including lost revenue, reimbursement for expenses already incurred, technology costs associated with a transition to distance education, faculty and staff trainings, and payroll.
