Financial Aid

In order to qualify for the $1200 reduction in Student Fees, the student (whether new or returning) must volunteer for a minimum of 10 days (with a maximum of 10 hours per day) with a minimum of 80 hours in total in a non-paid position in a church, Christian camp, or Christian organization.

These 10 days/80 hours can be split between one or more ministries and must be fulfilled between April and August in the summer ahead of the applied-for school year. Some examples of ministries that meet the Incentive criteria are WAT or other short-term missions, camps, youth groups, Street Invaders, Sunday school, VBS, soup kitchen, kids’ clubs, etc.

Students must then enroll in 5 courses and 1 student ministry each semester and pay room/board at the college in order for the Incentive to be applied to their account. If the student qualifies for the reduction of fees, it will be applied to the tuition portion of their fees on their account after the add/drop date in the winter semester.

If for any reason the student does not stay enrolled in the full course load, or is not up to date in their financial accounts (having fully paid the previous semester’s fees), and/or withdraws for any reason before the winter semester add/drop date, the full amount of the incentive will be forfeit.

Please note that all volunteer positions must receive pre-approval from Eston College. “Retroactive” applications for the Volunteer Incentive will not be considered eligible.
