Financial Aid
 
Because Bethany is not an accredited school, we cannot accept federal or state financial aid. Please contact the Admissions Office for information about the following options for financial assistance:
 
·  Work Scholarship Program: on-campus work program
 
·   Student Scholarship Award: 50% scholarship awarded yearly to one new student
 
·   Youth Conference Scholarship: 15% scholarship available to students who have attended Youth Week or Challenge
 
Spouse Rate
Spouses of Bethany students receive a 50% discount on tuition and room and board rates.
 
Family Rate
Immediate family members (such as siblings or children) of Bethany students receive a 20% discount on tuition and room and board rates.
 
Work Scholarship Program
Bethany’s Work Scholarship Program enables students to work at the Bethany campus to pay for their registration fees, tuition and room and board.
 
Students work 40 hours per week during the summer and 22 hours per week during the school year in exchange for the cost of one year of schooling.
 
Work Scholarship duties begin the Monday following (the previous school year’s) graduation in May.
 
Students are accepted into the program in the spring. A limited number of positions are available in the Work Scholarship Program. Current students are given preference; incoming students must submit their application for the program by March 1.
 
Note: This program is designed for unmarried students living in the dormitory, and is not open to international students.
 
Partial Work Scholarship Program
Students who are not able to join the Work Scholarship Program in May may be eligible for the Partial Work Scholarship Program.
 
During the school year, students in the Partial Work Scholarship Program may work additional hours beyond the 12 hours per week required of all students. Students are paid minimum wage for any additional hours worked, which is credited as payment toward their tuition. Students may choose the number of additional hours they would like to work (Minimum 8 hours/Maximum 12 hours).
 
Veterans
Bethany is approved by the New York State Division of Veterans’ Affairs for the training of veterans and other eligible persons for the Biblical Studies, Advanced Biblical Studies and Short-Term Certificate Programs.
