Federal Aid at AST? Who will get in?

Homosexual or backslider, Trinitarian, Calvinist, Universalist, Charismatic, Emergent or any combination that might challenge the dogmas at the WPF's Apostolic School of Theology? ...

AFF's owners, Ren and Stimpy, will be offering a scholarship to rival Everyone's Apostolic ...

ELK GROVE, CA – September 17, 2010. In the summer of 2009, Everyone’s Apostolic (EA) joined together with Apostolic School of Theology (AST) to form a $1000 Scholarship to new AST students who are members of Everyone’s Apostolic. Already two members have received the scholarship: Matthew Mullins and Aaron Cydrus. This scholarship can be combined with Federal Financial Aid and decrease the cost of tuition dramatically. Since AST is the “Pentecostal” school of Hope International University, it shares the benefits of an accredited degree program. That means government grants are available to their students. 90% of AST undergraduate students are receiving government grants. So combined with the EA scholarship, the first year’s tuition may be virtually free. For more information, go to www.goast.org.

If they receive Federal aid they cannot discriminate on the grounds of gender, faith, disability, weight, dress, comb-over, etc. ...

That would be rich ... anyone want to sponsor me to take one of their online courses? Would love me some healthy, non-censored debate and class discussion.

Re-opened...with Title change.

This is an interesting thread. What will/can they do?

Dan, just to clarify...the post states:

"AFF's owners, Ren and Stimpy, will be offering a scholarship to..."

Is the AFF a typo? Or is there another AFF it's referring to?

Isn't it a bit presumptuous to assume the AST wouldn't accept trinitarians of any ilk? Accepting trinitarians into a oneness school of theology would be having them "right where we want them"--right?

Dan, I am sure you can find a few to help push that point.

It would be interesting to have applicants that they would discriminate against.

Or would they just keep taking that federal money and let them continue?

Not sure ... it might have the same effect that Paul Baumeister ... who wrote the Apostolic News article and also teaches there ... FEARS MOST ... that some will be exposed to "filth" ... code for " I don't know how to refute you".
