Tuition & Aid
Wondering how you will pay for college? FLBC partners with alumni, congregations, and generous individuals who want you to receive a Bible College education without going into debt to pay for it. We don't accept government funding through FAFSA. Instead, students benefit from a condensed class schedule, part time employment, merit based scholarships, and FLBC sponsored financial aid. It's not free, but more than worth the investment.
A head start for every student
The total approximate cost of tuition, room, board, and fees for each student attending FLBC in 2023-24 is $33,000. Congregations and friends have generously given over $1.4 million to reduce student charges which equates to an approximately $13,000 grant per student.
This means students never see the full cost on their bill. Students are only responsible for approximately $20,000, which includes tuition, room, board, and fees. Use the net price calculator below to see how additional aid, scholarships, and part time employment can further reduce your student bill.

Merit-based Scholarships

FLBC offers scholarships for students who demonstrate achievement in academics and music. 1st year students may also qualify for the 1966-1970 Alumni Legacy Scholarship. 2nd year students can also apply for the half tuition Thorpe Scholarship for Leadership Development.
