ABC has financial aid

ABC has a Payment Plan

Although bills are due in full at the start of each semester, a payment plan is available. A down payment of $1750 ($1000 for non-dorm students) is required at the beginning of each semester, the remainder may be paid over a 3-month period. Completed and approved financial aid can be applied toward the down-payment.

You have a responsibility

Personal savings, sale of assets, summer employment/ministries, campus and local jobs should provide major resources in paying your school bill. Having a strong work ethic and being a good financial steward are necessary prerequisites to serving God and making tuition payments.

You have Contacts

We have a Great God

Remember, "When He putteth forth His own sheep, He goeth before them..." and "Faithful is He that calleth you, who will also do it." The God who has a special plan for you, also has a unique plan designed to finance your preparation for His service.
