Yes we do

We have regular collections in our churches for the 'Seminary student aid fund'.

As well, there is an amount assessed by the synodical treaserer for the operations of the seminary, as well as for student aid.

And in addition, we have a scholarship fund, for which aspiring ministers and teachers can apply.
I am going to see to it that my church "adopts" a seminary student once I get a church. It is pathetic how many churches do not support their students.
