  • Graduates of the Academy for G.O.D. who were enrolled for at least 4 consecutive years receive $1500 towards their freshman tuition.

    This scholarship is available to students applying by our Early Decision Deadline, December 10th.

  • Students who have participated in at least three SLAM service weeks qualify for an additional $1250 in scholarship funds applied to their freshman year.

Assistance Scholarships

  • Our school mascot is the Phoenix, a mythical bird that represents resurrection power. Our related Phoenix scholarship honors those who have endured tragedy, but have faith that God is able to do a new thing. We pray that as you share your story, it will inspire many others to rise up as well.

    With that in mind, write a 1000-word essay regarding your life trial and how God has grown you through it. (This cannot be the same essay you completed for your Institute application, so if you wrote about a similar topic, this needs to be a different approach.)

    Total funds vary according to the number of applicants per year. The maximum award amount for this scholarship is up to $5,000/year. Only full time, on-campus students may apply.

    Incoming full-time, on-campus students may be considered when they complete the Financial Assessment for Student Aid.

  • We are saddened by the reality that more and more Christian and Bible Colleges are closing their doors. We understand how difficult this must be for students and provide an exceptional assistance scholarship. If a college closing has impacted you, we urge you to consider The Institute as your new home. We are ready to extend an assistance scholarship for your hardship.

The ProDev Scholarship

  • Our ProDev scholarship is available to full time on-campus students participating in our ProDev Program. ProDev incorporates students into Christian workplaces where they can gain skills needed for future careers. Read more about our Professional Development program here.

    Students can apply for this scholarship program after acceptance into The Institute for GOD.
