OUTSIDE SCHOLARSHIPS
There are many other sources of financial assistance available through private foundations, companies, service clubs, churches or other organizations not directly managed by Boise Bible College. All students should seek out and apply for any source of financial assistance available. Boise Bible College encourages all students to apply for this type of aid by contacting each organization individually.
PARENT PLUS/PRIVATE LOANS
Parents can borrow funds through the federal government for their children with a parent PLUS loan. There are requirements and limitations. For more information visit our page on federal financial aid. Additionally, students seeking to borrow additional funds in their own name but have exhausted resources such as scholarships and grants may wish to consider borrowing from a private bank. These loans may be less advantageous than federal loans, because private loans require good credit, verifiable income and a student may need a credit worthy co-signer. Interest rates are varied, and other rates, terms, and conditions will also vary by lender/product.
PAYMENT PLAN
This plan is set up through the Business Office at Registration and enables you to spread the cost of a semester’s tuition, fees, room, and board over a four-month period. At registration you must make a down payment equal to two-thirds of the semester’s tuition, fees, room, board and associated fees. After the down payment is made, a deferred payment fee will be added to your remaining balance. The resulting balance will be paid out in four equal payments.
