UIBC recognizes that many students are called by God into ministry but may face financial challenges in pursuing theological education. For this reason, the college seeks to provide a combination of affordable tuition, flexible payment options, and scholarship support where available.
A limited number of scholarship or tuition assistance opportunities may be available to qualified students based on factors such as financial need, ministry commitment, academic readiness, and available sponsorship support.
Types of Financial Support
Scholarship Availability
Scholarship opportunities are limited and may not cover the full cost of study. Because available funding depends on sponsorship and institutional resources, students are encouraged to apply early and inquire about support during the admissions process.
Who May Qualify
Students seeking scholarship support may be asked to provide:
– Any additional supporting information requested by the admissions office.
– A completed application for admission.
– A short explanation of financial need.
– A pastoral or ministry recommendation
