Part I, Line 2: The Ministry provides need-based scholarships to students to take the Ministry's counseling courses. Scholarship recipients are selected based on information provided via an electronic and/or essay application, which is reviewed by the Ministry's staff. Scholarships are awarded based on a combination of student financial need, academic merit, and other factors and are applied directly to the student's account as a reduction in tuition. The Ministry monitors each recipient student to ensure that he/she remains an active, enrolled student and satisfies the academic and other criteria for maintaining the scholarship. Students are not guaranteed ongoing assistance every following term, but rather students must request the need-based assistance prior to or during the registration period of the applicable term. Student applications and eligibility are evaluated on a term-by-term basis. Part III, Tuition Discounts: The Ministry provides need-based and merit-based tuition discounts to students to take the Ministry's counseling courses, which are reported as non-cash assistance on Schedule I. However, tuition discounts do not constitute an amount received by an organization. Thus, pursuant to the Form 990 instructions, tuition discounts and assistance should not be included in an organization's gross receipts (and therefore have not been included in total revenue in Part VIII). For consistency in reporting, the tuition discounts and assistance are also not reported as an expense in Form 990, Part IX. 1 X X 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Alasdair Groves Executive Director - End 5/2025 60134 0 0 0 155870 0 4500 0 7415 0 227919 0 0 0 Ed Welch Senior Faculty 149205 0 0 0 0 0 7709 0 21055 0 177969 0 0 0 Michael Emlet Senior Faculty 132280 0 0 0 0 0 10918 0 24249 0 167447 0 0 0 Jeff Jue Director of Resources 133404 0 0 0 0 0 2321 0 20754 0 156479 0 0 0 David Gundersen Dean of Faculty 133501 0 0 0 0 0 1451 0 19226 0 154178 0 0 0 Darby Strickland Faculty 118214 0 0 0 0 0 9793 0 23740 0 151747 0 0 0 Part I, Line 4a During the year, the Ministry entered into a separation agreement with Alasdair Groves, which was approved by the Ministry's Board of Trustees.
