University Financial Operation Policy
The University keeps the application fee, tuition, room, board,
and other fees as low as possible to be consistent with responsible
operation. The revenue from students does not cover the total cost
of operation.
Individuals and churches who desire to share in the preparation
of young people for effective Christian service in all walks of life
partially support the University. Some funds are received from
interested businesses, industries, and foundations. Student costs
as stated are subject to change upon reasonable notification by
the University.
