Tuition and Funding

Education requires a commitment of time and money. Your enrolment advisor can help you figure out how to fit your studies within the time and financial resources God has given you. Our programs and courses are offered in a variety of delivery options, including daytime, evening, online and one-week intensive formats. And we have scholarships and bursaries to help with your tuition. Talk to your enrolment advisor today.

Government Student Loans

If you have done everything you can to come up with the funds you need to pay for school and still require additional funding, then we would encourage you to consider applying for a student loan. Government student loans are a good option as they remain interest-free while you are a student and you do not need to make any payments until you have finished school. It is recommended to apply for government student loans by June 1.

Student loan eligibility is determined in part by the province of residence. If you reside outside of BC, you can search student aid sites for each province. Learn more on the BC student aid site: https://studentaidbc.ca/sabc-home-page

Tuition

We make every effort to keep tuition fees affordable. Each student’s tuition is subsidized by the generous support of denominational constituencies across Canada.

*Activity, Infrastructure and Technology Fee: This fee is intended to support many of the student-oriented activities and related infrastructure. This fee pays a portion of recreational services, Student Life services such as the Student Success Center and Wellness Centre, as well as support for distinct programs available to international and commuter students. It also contributes to the technological upgrades that benefit students and are necessary in today’s fast-changing computerized world. It should be noted that only a portion of the actual costs of these activities and facilities has been recovered through this fee.
