Financial Aid
The Financial Aid Office exists to assist students and parents in locating financial resources to help cover the cost of education at New Hope Christian College.
Our goal is to promote the mission of New Hope Christian College by helping students fund their education through public, private, and institutional resources. Federal Student Aid is awarded based on need. To apply for Financial Aid, a student must file a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid).
New Hope Christian College is a Christian Bible College, focusing on the whole person, inside and out. It is far more than simply getting a degree. Jesus said in John 15:16 "You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and appointed you that you should go forth and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain."
This is one of the most important investments you will make in your life - as you answer the call of Jesus. New Hope Christian College is nationally accredited by the Association of Biblical Higher Education (ABHE) and we offer financial aid and scholarships. Students must submit a FAFSA each year in order to be eligible for Federal Student Aid (Pell Grants, and Federal Student Loans).
Overview
Applying online is much faster and more efficient than applying by mail. In order to determine eligibility for federal and some state and institutional aid, all U.S. citizens (and eligible non-citizens) are required to complete the FAFSA each school year.
New Hope Christian College does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin, or handicap, with regards to admission and employment policies, the educational, financial aid, or other programs and privileges to students at the college.
Note: You will be asked on the application to provide our school code - 015167.
