Affordability

Attending a private college is expensive. Graduates are often burdened with student loans that take years to repay and can delay ministry or graduate training. To help its graduates enter ministry with a minimal student loan burden, IBC offers room, board, and tuition at rates lower than many other private colleges. With work scholarship opportunities on campus and many good paying jobs nearby, IBC encourages students to find employment with a class schedule structured to facilitate working students. IBC also offers several scholarships and discounts, and its accredited status makes Pell Grants, government funded loans, and Hope Scholarships available to qualified students. An IBC student, if frugal and industrious, can be debt free or nearly so when graduating.
