We want to help you afford seminary.
The number one obstacle for people considering seminary or Bible college is the cost. At first, paying for your education can seem like an impossible challenge. But we have consistently seen students assemble the right financial pieces to find the solution. We will work with you to identify the best approach for you. In general, the four steps below help students graduate with minimal or no debt.
WBS has some of the most affordable tuition of any seminary in the United States
Donors cover 60% of the cost of a degree before scholarships or other funding are applied.
WBS offers a wide variety of scholarships. Around 70% of current students receive institutional scholarships.
Once you are accepted, you can apply for scholarships to determine your scholarship award.
Most of our students are preparing for ministry in a local church or are currently serving in that context. We encourage you to request support from your church for your educational journey. This partnership model is seen in Paul’s life and mission.
WBS is eligible to offer federal aid to qualifying students. Once you are accepted, the financial aid director will work with you to identify what aid you can receive. You will be required to complete a FAFSA to qualify for federal aid.
