Scholarships
Financial Aid
To protect our Christian institution's religious integrity and freedom, the college does not participate, on principle, with any government-sponsored financial aid programs.
Instead, a private scholarship organization is available to provide assistance to needy and deserving students. Students may also apply for private student loans through the links at the bottom of the page.
All students seeking any type of financial assistance should begin by reviewing available scholarships listed below. While a limited number of scholarship requests for the graduate program may be considered, most of the listed scholarships apply to the undergraduate program only.
Initial scholarship application deadline is February 1. Late applications will be considered if funds are available. Applicants will be notified of awards on March 1, 2025.
General Scholarships
A total of $3,000 is available for qualifying students from the general scholarship options. All financial aid offers are dependent on eligibility. Any change in eligibility may affect your offer. Upon withdrawal or expulsion, any institutional scholarships and grants the student has received will first be retracted, and the student will be liable for the full tuition bill as if he had not received any assistance.
