How It Works
- Student must be accepted into the program by GCI Board of Approvals
- GCP tuition assistance pays $3,370 per year for four years of college (max $13,480) and is classified as a forgivable loan.
- (If at any point the student doesn’t fulfill all contract requirements, any funds received will be required to be paid back to GCP in full.)
- Student is responsible to line up loans and / or cover the remainder of their tuition, room and board per semester at this stage.
- After graduation, God’s Commissioned will run an assessment of qualifying student loan debt remaining from Trinity Bible College. A certified loan payment schedule will be approved for the next four years of full time employment. GCP pays 25% of the approved loan debt for every 12 months of full time employment in the ministry.
- After 48 months of full time employment and all contract requirements are fulfilled, the student is eligible to receive up to $30,000 to pay off the remainder of their student loans.
