Incoming vs. Returning Students

By Ben Bishop, Boise Bible College Director of Financial Aid

Boise Bible College prides ourselves on helping students grow spiritually and intellectually. Here at BBC you will be challenged, make lasting friendships, and strengthen your relationship with to God. We are here to help you every step of the way. Through hard work and determination on your part and ours, one of the ways we help fund your education at BBC is with scholarships.

All of the grants and scholarships that BBC offers empower students and enable BBC to live its mission to build up the church, to be a resource to the local church, and to deepen relationships with local churches throughout the world.

“Every worthwhile accomplishment has a price tag attached to it. The question is whether or not you are willing to pay the price to attain it – in hard work, sacrifice, patience, faith and endurance.”

 

John C. Maxwell

Incoming Students = Access to $9,500 in Scholarships

Depending on availability and eligibility, incoming students may have access to over $9,500 a year in BBC scholarships. This does not count any sort of Federal aid such as the Pell grant or student loans. Many of the BBC awards given to incoming students are renewable and continual for more than one year depending on eligibility.

Returning Students = Access to $25,000 in Scholarships

In the same way, depending on availability and eligibility, returning students have access to over $25,000 a year in BBC institutional and endowed scholarships. This also does not count any sort of Federal aid such as the Pell grant or student loans.

What’s the Difference?

We at BBC love to help out all of our students at every step of their journey with us. We do not use financial aid just to get you to attend BBC, but to help you mature while you are with us. We are here to help students from the first step they take on campus to even after they graduate. This ‘whole journey’ approach sets us apart from many other institutions!
