2022-2023 Tuition and Fee Rates

Tuition Assistance
CCBC trains students from many different denominations and churches. While our main approach is to offer one low cost of attendance for all students, some financial aid is available on a limited basis for those who demonstrate a need. Additionally, you may be eligible for a Calvary Chapel Pastor & Missionary Scholarship if you or your parent is a full-time pastor, ministry leader, or missionary in a Calvary Chapel ministry.
