To see what you may be eligible for, please complete the matching Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the academic year you plan to attend. This yearly application will determine your eligibility for:
Federal Grants:
Unlike loans, grants do not have to be paid back in most circumstances. Eligible Grants include:
- The Federal Pell Grant
- FSEOG Grant
Student Loans:
Unlike grants and scholarships, loans are borrowed funds that MUST be repaid with interest. Several types of loans may be available to both students and their parents. We recommend that students be wise and carefully consider loans and the amount to be repaid after much research and prayer.
- Subsidized Loans
- Unsubsidized loans
- Parent PLUS Loan
Howerver, in the case you may need to take out student loans to invest in your education, Boise Bible College offers The BBC Pledge for all 4-year, incoming students. The BBC Pledge is a loan repayment assistance program through Aredeo Education Solutions.

VA education benefits help Veterans, service members, and their qualified family members with needs like paying college tuition, finding the right school or training program, and getting career counseling.
The College accepts the GI Bill and other VA benefits to help students fund their education.

Employment
Boise Bible College has employment available on campus to students in addition to scholarships, grants, and federal aid resources. The areas available for student employment are coffee shop, maintenance, landscaping, library, and cafeteria.
