Tuition and Fees

The tuition cost per hour of credit is $448. Courses are generally two or three credit hours, so the tuition cost for a class is approximately $900-$1300. There is also a $50 per course technology fee plus books (average book costs per course is $75). Most online students will be eligible for scholarships that will significantly reduce the cost per course.

How to Apply for Financial Aid
When applying for financial aid, here are things you should keep in mind.

File the FAFSA, even when you think you will not be eligible for a Pell Grant. You will need it to obtain a loan.
 
 
 
 
 
1. Submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid on the Web. Students can now download the application and/or apply online using their PIN. If you have not received a PIN in the mail, you may go to www.pin.ed.gov to apply. The FAFSA student Guide is also available online.

Free Will Baptist Bible College Institution Code is 030018
 
File the FAFSA at the same time you file your tax return. You will need information from your tax return to complete the FAFSA. Full-time status is not a requirement for federal aid.

Note: If you anticipate not filing a tax return, contact the Financial Aid Office staff for instructions.

Students may also qualify for additional grants or scholarships. Students may also benefit from income tax credits. FWBBC is also approved to use Veteran Benefits and Tuition Assistance.
 
Local Church Ministry Scholarship
   
 

The Local Church Ministry Scholarship (LCMS) is available to all non-traditional students who enroll in the online program. The LCMS is designed to assist adult learners who are consistently involved in ministry in their local church. This scholarship provides a significant reduction in tuition costs. The maximum award for this scholarship results in a tuition rate of $860 per course for the 2010-2011 school year.

 

Applicants should submit a request for the LCMS to their online advisor when they enroll and must fill out the FAFSA application and provide the Verification of Church Ministry Form, documenting their official, local church role. The Verification of Local Church Ministry Form must be signed by the church clerk or pastor and mailed to Free Will Baptist Bible College by the church officer.
   
Free Will Baptist Ministers and FWBBC Alumni Scholarship
   
 

The Online Ministers Scholarship (OMS) is available to any ordained Free Will Baptist Minister (whether or not an alumnus of the college).  The maximum award for this scholarship is a tuition rate of $790 per course for the 2010-2011 school year.  For FWB ministers who have completed the FAFSA application, the scholarship will be applied upon submission of a copy of their ordination credentials.
