TUITION

Tuition is moderately priced to ease the financial burden of men and women called into Christian ministry. The tuition price does not include required textbooks or other learning materials. Therefore, all students are responsible for acquiring their own textbooks and required materials for each course. All students are subject to a $25 registration fee, a $45 technology fee, and a $25 student access fee each quarter. Tuition is subject to change. All funds are in $U.S.

FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID     Return to Top

Financial aid is available to assist qualified students wishing to attend the seminary but not having the financial resources to do so. Financial aid is based upon need. Need is defined as the difference between the cost of attendance and the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) as calculated through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is submitted electronically at www.fafsa.ed.gov.

Approximately one week after submitting the FAFSA a Student Aid Report (SAR), is received by both the applicant and the Office of Financial Aid. The SAR indicates the financial need of the applicant and lists the EFC.

Faith Evangelical Seminary administers the following Federal Title IV aid programs:

Federal Pell Grant
This federally funded grant is based upon financial need and is applicable to the Bachelor's program only.

Federal Family Educational Loan Program
Stafford loans are made by participating lenders. The interest rate can vary and is either subsidized or unsubsidized. The loan limit is determined by Federal guidelines. Repayment begins six months after graduation, when a borrower ceases to be enrolled at least half-time, or ceases to make satisfactory academic progress.

All applicants for Federal financial aid are required to:

  1. Complete and file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) with Faith Evangelical Seminary being included as an institution to receive a Student Aid Report (SAR);
  2. Apply for admission to the seminary;
  3. Be accepted into a degree program or pre-coursework (audit students, unclassified students, and mature students are ineligible); and
  4. Be registered half-time or more and maintain satisfactory academic progress.
