Student loans are a great way to help you pay for your post-secondary education. For many students, it makes all the difference between money saved for school and the cost of actually going to school.

Note: Loans are not an excuse for over-spending on clothing, cell phone, vacations and for not working hard and getting a job.

At SBC campus jobs usually pay approx. $1000 per academic year (this is about 3 hours per week of work). You may also find flexible jobs at local grocery stores and fast food chains; this takes the edge off the financial worries.

Just don’t work too many hours per week or you won’t be able to fully achieve your spiritual, academic and social goals. Be wise. It may be better to take a small loan than to work so many hours you miss out on the college experience. 

Ask your workplace and/or workplace union if they can help pay for your college education.

Home churches often give between $500 and $4000 for students attending Bible College. Have you asked your church for support?

Plus, your friends and family will be thrilled to hear from you and to discover what you are learning at Bible college as you seek to grow in your faith and ministry readiness.
