Our students can and do graduate debt free because our tuition is low compared to many other Bible colleges. That being said, there is no system in place to guarantee financial stability. Most of our students will get jobs in the area and work to pay their way through.

Secondly, our staff are full-time missionaries who raise their support from churches and individuals that share our purpose to see churches planted where Christ is yet unknown.  This provides a tremendous savings in overhead costs which are passed on in our tuition and fees, making EBI very affordable to attend.

In addition to employment, some students receive financial help from parents, relatives and friends.  Some larger employers may have programs for educational assistance that you may qualify for.  You may want to discuss other possible sources of funds that your church may be aware of, such as, a community foundation in your area or Christian organizations that support Biblical education.

Veterans may be able to secure VA education funds by way of the GI Bill®. EBI is qualified to accept VA education benefits.  Veterans will need to secure a Certificate of Eligibility letter from the VA.  Once received, forward that on to the finance office at EBI.  We will contact you for other information that we will need to bill fees to the VA.  Feel free to contact the finance office at the school to discuss details.

How much should I work while attending as a student?

While school is in session, EBI would recommended that your work hours not exceed 25 hours per week.  We believe the study of God’s Word is your first priority and that a great deal of time needs to be committed to accomplishing what you came to do here at EBI – study God’s Word!

Does EBI help students find a job?

We do not provide employment services, however we have good relationships with many employers in the community.  Many of the local businesses and individuals looking for employees have a high opinion of the work ethic of our students and often contact the school about job opportunities.   When we are contacted about employment opportunities, we post those jobs on a school bulletin board.

Are there any on-campus jobs available?

We do not typically provide jobs to our students.  When we do need to hire students, we usually offer those jobs first to international students that cannot legally work in the U.S. but can work on the campus at the college they are enrolled in as a student.

We current do not receive federal student loans or grants. We also currently do not accept FASFA. We will continue to operate this way to prevent external input from the government on the religious values we hold as an institution. However, as an accredited institution, there are opportunities to receive external scholarships. 

Even though federal student aid is not available to students, our low semester costs more than offset the value of any federal loans one receives at an alternative school. Students will not acquire loan debt that must be repaid after they finish, which is highly valuable. 

If a student cannot pay their bill on time, we ask that they communicate with us. There is normally a 3% late fee for overdue payments, but we recommend contacting the Business Office. They will be able to review your situation and set up a plan to help you get caught up. Early communication helps keep one from falling behind and accruing late fees. 

If a student misses two payments throughout a semester and has an outstanding balance for a total of 30 days after that second missed payment, they may be asked to withdraw from EBI if a workable payment schedule cannot be implemented.
