Cost & Financial Aid at Legacy Bible Institute

Legacy Bible Institute is committed to making biblical education accessible and affordable. The cost per student is $300 per week, which translates to $4,800 for the first semester (16 weeks), $5,700 for the second semester (19 weeks) and $10,500 for the whole year. However, through generous scholarships, sponsorships, and work-study options, most students can significantly reduce or even fully cover their expenses.

Financial Support Options
