Financial Aid

Making Bible College Accessible

At Calvary Chapel Bible College, we believe finances should never be the reason a student cannot pursue God’s call. We’re committed to keeping tuition affordable — and we back that commitment with locked-in tuition rates, flexible payment plans, scholarships, and needs-based financial aid.

Tuition Guarantee

As part of this commitment, CCBC offers a Tuition Guarantee:
When you enroll, your tuition rate is locked in for the duration of your degree program, provided you maintain continuous enrollment.

  • No annual tuition increases on tuition rates.
  • The tuition rate you start with is the tuition rate you finish with.

The CCBC Tuition Guarantee reflects our desire to honor the step of faith you are taking today, while also stewarding the college’s future for generations to come.

Tuition Guarantee FAQ

What counts as continuous enrollment?

Continuous enrollment means enrolling in:

  • On-campus students: At least 6 credit hours each fall and spring semester.
  • Online students: At least one course each term (with two terms per semester).

Summer terms are optional and do not affect your continuous enrollment status.

What happens if I take a semester off?

If you take a fall or spring semester off without an approved leave of absence, you will forfeit your Tuition Guarantee.
When you re-enroll, your tuition rate will adjust to the current published rate at the time of your return.

Note: If you need to pause your studies for medical, military, or other serious reasons, you may request a formal leave of absence through the Registrar’s Office to preserve your tuition guarantee.

What if I switch degree programs?

If you switch from one degree program to another (for example, from the Associate of Biblical Studies to the Bachelor of Biblical Studies) without breaking continuous enrollment, your Tuition Guarantee remains in place.
Your locked-in tuition rate will carry over to your new degree program.

Does the Tuition Guarantee cover fees, housing, or meal plans?

No. The Tuition Guarantee applies only to tuition rates.

Other fees (such as registration or technology fees), as well as housing and meal plan costs, may change over time and are not included in the tuition guarantee.

Payment Plans

To ensure that students can afford their education without experiencing excessive financial stress, we offer three different payment plan options for semester tuition and fees. 

1. One Payment (100%): Paying in full, no plan required.

2. Two Payments: $25 plan fee.

3. Four Payments: $50 plan fee.

Payment plans are available after you are accepted for admission.  
*Payment plans reflect fees for a full-time, on-campus semester.

All charges in payment plans are to be paid according to contract dates. If payments are late, a $25 late fee will be added to the account balance.

Scholarships

Spirit of Alumni Scholarship
