Latin American Bible Institute

What is the cost of studying for a year at Latin American Bible Institute?

For 2024-25, Latin American Bible Institute reported the same full-time undergraduate tuition for in-state and out-of-state students: $12,450. Required fees add to that published charge. A student's full annual budget also depends on housing, food, books, transportation, and personal expenses.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition, in-state or out-of-state: $12,450 for 2025-26.
• Required full-time undergraduate fees: $1,600 for 2025-26.
• Part-time undergraduate tuition: $415 per credit hour for 2025-26.

Tuition plus the reported required fees comes to $15,690; that is not a complete cost of attendance. A separately reported median annual room-and-board charge was $9,900, but students should not add a median housing figure to tuition and treat the result as an individualized bill. Housing choices, course load, and other expenses can change the total.

Financial aid changes what students pay, not the published tuition. In 2024-25 reporting, all students in the relevant aid measure received some form of financial aid, while 21% had student loans. Neither figure says what a new applicant will qualify for. Reported average net prices were $11,125 for families with annual income up to $48,000 and $10,325 for those with income from $48,001 to $75,000. These are averages after applicable aid, not quoted prices for every family.

Eligible students can ask the financial aid office about federal grants and loans, California aid, institutional scholarships, and the application steps for each. Before comparing offers, check whether an award is a grant, a loan that must be repaid, or money expected from work, and whether it renews in later years.

What are the work-study opportunities at Latin American Bible Institute?

Students considering work alongside classes should distinguish a regular part-time job from Federal Work-Study, an aid program that pays eligible students for qualifying employment. Receiving a financial aid offer does not by itself secure a job or guarantee a particular number of work hours.

Ask Latin American Bible Institute's financial aid office whether Federal Work-Study is offered for the relevant year, how eligibility is determined, and where positions are posted. For any campus job, confirm the hourly pay, scheduling, and whether earnings are paid as wages rather than deducted automatically from tuition. Students seeking career-related experience should separately ask their academic program about internships or supervised ministry placements and whether they carry course credit.
