FINANCIAL AID

Investing in Your Future, Made Affordable

At Global Bible College and Seminary (GBCS), we believe that quality education should be accessible to everyone regardless of their financial circumstances. Our Financial Aid Program is designed to provide students with affordable options to pursue their academic and spiritual goals without financial hardship. While we do not participate in Title IV Federal Funding, we offer a range of in-house financial aid options, flexible payment plans, and scholarship opportunities to ensure every student has the chance to succeed.

How Our Financial Aid Program Works

✅ 1. Flexible In-House Financing Plans

We understand that paying for education upfront may not be possible for everyone. Therefore, we offer customizable in-house payment plans to ease the financial burden.

  • Monthly Payment Plans: Spread your tuition and fees into manageable monthly payments.

  • No Interest Financing: Our payment plans come with zero interest when payments are made on time.

  • Promissory Note Agreement: Students sign a Promissory Note Agreement outlining the payment terms, deadlines, and responsibilities.

Example Payment Plan for a Bachelor’s Program:

  • Initial Deposit: $500

  • Monthly Installments: $250 per month (adjusted based on program duration and total tuition).
