FEES & FUNDING:
TUITION
It is the desire of African Bible University that every qualified student who wishes to attend the university be able to do so. In order to encourage this desire, the university makes every effort to keep the cost of tuition, accommodation and meals to a minimum. Tuition and fees are set annually. Current rates may be obtained by contacting the Office of the Registrar. The fees paid by the student do not cover the entire cost of training the student. Therefore, African Bible University is dependent upon gifts from Christian friends and churches to subsidize the cost of each student’s education.
WORK SCHOLARSHIP
Each year the university grants a limited number of scholarships in the form of work-study grants. Work scholarship positions involve various responsibilities such as cleaning, farming, animal husbandry, grounds maintenance, and service in the library and computer lab. Reimbursement for these support services to the university are applied directly to the student’s account to offset tuition charges through scholarship funds. It is the policy of the university not to offer work scholarships to first year students.
