2026-2027 Scholarship Application

Scholarship Application 2026-2027

17��Ƶ is among the nation’s most affordable Bible colleges. Our high-quality ministry programs provide training that allows people to study and earn a degree while remaining in their communities and active in their local churches. We know that cost is an important part of your decision in choosing a college, so we try to keep our costs low. The total of federal grants and scholarships cannot exceed the cost of actual tuition. If the combined aid in these categories exceeds the cost of tuition, Federal Aid will post first and then VBC scholarships will be reduced/applied accordingly. Awards are based on FAFSA and scholarship application results. The Scholarship Application submission deadline is one week before the start of each module.
