BGU IS TUITION-PAID!*
Your tuition is paid through a combination of grants and tuition waivers.
Your tuition is paid through a combination of grants and tuition waivers.
*Qualifying students must be full-time, resident, under-graduates, who have not yet earned a bachelor degree and are U.S. Citizens. Qualifying students must also apply annually with FAFSA and accept offered Federal Pell Grants.
Your tuition is paid through a combination of grants and tuition waivers:
All students who wish to receive the tuition-paid benefit are required to apply annually for U.S. Department of Education Title IV funds by completing the FAFSA online. Federal Pell Grants are applied to the remaining tuition costs.
All students take part in a Practical Training assignment in a department on campus. Students who successfully meet the requirements of Practical Training receive a tuition waiver. By the end of the school year, this waiver covers half of the student’s annual tuition costs.
If a student’s tuition costs are not fully covered by the Practical Training Tuition Waiver and Title IV funding, BGU waives the remaining tuition balance, no matter how much it is. If you qualify for student loans through Title IV funds, they may cover all or part of the costs of room, board and required annual fees.
You might wonder why BGU would choose a tuition-paid model in a time when tuition and fees for a private 4-year college average over $31,000. We could simply charge students our comparatively modest $12,000 in tuition!
However, our focus is to equip you to show the love of Jesus and share the gospel message among the nations. In most cases graduates will be raising missionary support or living on a limited income overseas. Therefore, we are committed to finding creative financial solutions in order to enable you to receive the training you need.
INCLUDING TUITION, ROOM, BOARD, AND FEES
**Stats taken from collegeboard.org.
If you qualify for Federal Direct Loans (student loans) through Title IV funds, they may cover all or part of these costs. Additional fee discounts are available to bring the total cost even lower.
**Annual fees do not include cost for books, medical coverage, personal expenses or travel costs.
