What is the cost of studying for a year at Elim Bible Institute and College?

For the 2024-25 reporting year, full-time undergraduate tuition was $9,178, with $500 in required fees, for $9,678 in tuition and mandatory fees. The reported charges were the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Part-time undergraduate tuition was $384 per credit hour.

Reported room and board charges totaled $7,800 for an academic year. Adding those charges to tuition and required fees gives $17,478 for a student paying the listed residential charges, before books, transportation, personal expenses, and any other applicable costs. That sum is not a complete cost-of-attendance budget or a prediction of an individual bill.

Financial aid can change what a student ultimately pays. In the reported aid data, 93% of students received some form of aid, and the average undergraduate grant award from all reported sources was $9,828. About 32% received student loans, which must generally be repaid. Eligible students may also be able to use federal or state aid and institutional assistance; they should review their individual aid offer rather than subtract the collegewide average grant from the published price.

Average net price - the estimated cost after grant aid - also varied by family income in the reported figures. It was $6,685 for students from families earning up to $48,000 and $13,613 for the $75,001-$110,000 bracket. These are group averages, not quoted prices for an applicant. The financial aid office can explain the current application process, scholarship conditions, and how a student's living arrangement affects the budget.

What are the work-study opportunities at Elim Bible Institute and College?

Students interested in earning money while enrolled should ask Elim's financial aid and campus offices about current paid positions and how to apply. A campus job, an internship, and Federal Work-Study are distinct: Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program that pays eligible students for qualifying work, rather than a grant automatically credited to tuition.

Applicants should not assume that an aid award guarantees a position or a particular number of hours. When comparing opportunities, ask whether the work is paid, whether it meets an academic or ministry requirement, and how its schedule fits classes and other obligations.
