Northwest Baptist Seminary

Financial Expectations

It is anticipated that the student will be a full-time intern employed by the church under the direction of the youth pastoral mentor throughout the duration of the program. While these arrangements can be negotiated the plan is that the church would provide basic living expenses (perhaps room and board) plus one third of the cost of ACTS/NBS tuition (not including SonLife fees). The other two thirds would be shared equally between the student and the Seminary by way of scholarship. Terms of employment are entirely within the province of the church and student.

The Seminary reserves the right to limit the number of students enrolled in the program as funds allow.

Students will be responsible for their own costs related to any additional courses required to meet program admission standards. Books and supplies are the responsibility of the student.

Tuition Rates

The Fall 2007 rate for Diploma level courses is $175 per credit over a total 30 credit hours.

The student and church would be responsible for a total of $1750 each, spread unevenly over the three semesters of the first year.  This amount does not include the cost of books, supplies, or SonLife fees which would be over and above these costs and are the responsibility of the student and church.
*NOTE: RES500 Research Strategies is an ACTS course and falls under ACTS current ACTS tuition rates.  This adjustment is reflected in the figures above. 

The Fall 2007 rate for Masters level courses is $380 per credit over a total of 52 credit hours as determined by ACTS Seminaries.

The student and church would be responsible for a total of $5115 each, spread unevenly over the seven semesters of the second and third year.  This amount does not include the cost of books and supplies which would be over and above these costs; nor does it allow for inflationary increases from year to year.

SUMMARY:

Reflecting a projected 5% yearly adjustment for inflation at the masters level given the student commencing this program in the Fall 2007 semester.
