Various Finance Related Concerns      
       
Time Payment and loans, etc.:  

Time-Payment indebtedness should not be contracted during a student’s time of enrollment at FGBI. All unnecessary purchases should be limited. Financial obligations should be taken care of before enrollment. A diploma will not be issued until all school debts are paid and all work has been satisfactorily completed.

  
Student Employment:   Students residing on campus are not to obtain outside employment during the time spent at the Free Gospel Bible Institute (September through May) so they may be present to benefit fully from the Bible Institute program, atmosphere, prayer times, and ministry opportunities.  
Part-time:   Enrollees may be accepted as part time commuter students at the discretion of the Administration.  They may take up to (4) courses per semester with full credit being given.  The registration fee is $150.00 per semester.  
V.A. Refund Policy   In the event a war orphan or V.A. eligible person fails to enter the course, or withdraws, or is discontinued, the refund will be pro-rated.  The Institute will retain $10.00 of the Entrance Fee.  
Scholarships : Free Gospel Bible Institute does not offer any scholarships to students. Since we do not charge room, board, or tuition, this is our contribution to the student. It is the student's responsibility to pray, and seek God, to have their financial needs met.  
 

While many schools charge thousands of dollars per year, the faith policy of Free Gospel Bible Institute enables more young people to enter the Pentecostal ministry. Although there is no charge for room, board, or tuition, all who are privileged to be students at FGBI have an obligation to share the vision and the burden. Blessing should never result in slothfulness or irresponsibility. Each student must pray, give, and trust God with us for the meeting of all Institute needs, as well as for personal needs. Some students are financially blessed, and others have little, but all are expected to tithe and give regularly according to their financial ability.
