Fees and financial aid | Worldwide Evangelical Seminary

Financial aid

Eligible for 100% free studies?

For Christian leaders and teachers with limited means we offer financial aid of up to 100%, covering all the fees of the program. This is possible because WWES is a faith mission: people around the world support it with their time, their money, or both.

Global Justice Scholarship: 100% of tuition

You can receive this scholarship if all of the following apply to you:

You are a practising teacher in a Bible school or theological seminary, a leader in a denominational role, or otherwise a key person in your national ministry.
You live and work in a country where the GDP (PPP) is below $10,000 per person (orange on the map below).
You can show that your financial situation is difficult and that you could not afford the studies otherwise.
You can explain why and how your church, denomination or agency will benefit from your further theological education.

Registration fee waiver

If you are a practising pastor or teacher in a church, Bible school, mission agency or similar, we do not charge the registration fee when you live and work in a country of low or moderate average purchasing power (orange or yellow on the map) and you describe your limited financial resources in your application.

With both, you study with no fees at all. Financial aid does not cover travel, living costs, a device or internet.
