▼ LOW TUITION PHILOSOPHY
Grace & Truth Christian University has the philosophy that a quality, spiritual education that trains an individual for service to the Lord Jesus Christ should not leave that individual with an oppressive financial debt.
This is another reason that we have not sought the very costly regional accreditation that leads to qualification for government–guaranteed student loans and other government programs. Institutions using such loans generally charge the maximum tuition allowable, leaving the student with a sizeable debt at the completion of their education. For those called to the ministry, it can be very difficult to obey God’s calling with this type of debt lingering over their finances. Therefore, Grace & Truth Christian University elected a less-costly, independent accreditation through Transworld Accrediting Commission International (TACI).
Our approach is to provide the most affordable, quality, spiritual education that we can as a ministry to the Lord and to His servants.
▼ STUDENT LOANS
The policy of GTCU is to provide an in-house, interest-free, student loan in the form of a “pay-as-you-go” program rather than requiring the student to pay the full tuition at the beginning of each semester.
An advantage of the programs provided at GTCU is the flexibility of schedule. Students can finish their programs of study or achieve their educational goals over a period of time convenient to them. Their personal preferences, work schedules, and finances determine the speed at which they progress.
