SPONSORSHIPS: CHURCH, CORPORATE, OR INDIVIDUAL
 
A student's church, corporation, friends, or relatives may desire to pay some or all of his tuition fees. The amount of the payment will be credited to his/her account after proper authorization has been received by LBS.

Proper authorization is understood to be an official document from a church or corporation stating the person(s) being sponsored and the amount(s) to be credited. It must be signed by an officer who is not receiving any part of the sponsorship.

Sponsorship monies will be held available for use or refund for one year from the date of last activity. Sponsorship monies will be refunded only to the sponsor and only on written request within 1-year time limit. Beyond the specified time, any unused and unrefunded monies will be applied to LBS general fund.
 
POLICY CONCERNING DONATIONS
 
Monies given to the Seminary by institutions, foundations, churches, or individuals will be used for the purposes for which they were designated. Undesignated gifts will go to the general budget of the Seminary.
 
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
 
Spouse Benefits

When a student registers for on campus semester courses, the student's spouse may register for an equal number of courses at a reduced price decided by the Administration upon the need of the family.

Tuition Assistance

Because of its low tuition rate, LBS believes that all students are enjoying financial assistance to some extent.

Beyond the low rate of tuition, certain limited tuition assistance and scholarships are available. These are granted to students on the basis of verifiable need and availability of funds.

All student tuition assistance and scholarship programs are coordinated by the President, the Registrar, and the Board of Trustees.

Students desiring financial assistance must submit a Financial Aid Form to the Registrar. These forms may be obtained after students receive acceptance into LBS degree program. Each student approved for financial assistance will be required to reapply annually. LBS reserves the right to reject or review this assistance at any time.
