We offer our students affordable, convenient 0% interest-free tuition payment plans to help keep you out of debt.

Did you know that the average tuition rate for a private college is $23,000 per year?  Did you know that the average cost to attend a public college is $6,000 per year?  It's true (see the College Board).  If these numbers seem staggering, take a deep breath.  You can earn your degree at Smith Christian University for less than $2,500 per year for a 120 credit undergraduate degree and less than $1,600 per year for a 36 credit hour graduate degree.  Accelerated Degree Studies are available.  Call to receive more information: (866) 667-8133.  You do the math -- that's 90% lower than the average private college!

What's even more surprising is what students are paying in student loan interest. With a standard student loan with the typical 6.8% interest rate, you'll pay an additional $76,000 in interest over 20 years of $700/month payments.  Wow.

Don't panic.  Did you know that Smith Christian University offers 0% interest-free tuition financing?  That's right.  Our easy, affordable, and convenient tuition financing plan means you don't have to take out interest heavy student loans... you can pay for your education as you complete it.  With monthly payments as low as $90, we'll work with you to make your education as affordable as possible because we believe in your calling.  We see our tuition financing efforts as an investment in your life.

Here's why a SCU education is affordable...

                       Affordable monthly payments that meet your budget

Full tuition is payable upon enrollment unless other arrangements are approved by the Business Office in advance. No student will be considered officially enrolled until satisfactory arrangements have been made. The University recognizes that in some instances a definite need for installment payments of tuition exists and, therefore, allows students to pay the tuition in installments, after making a required down payment. When time payments are desired, students are asked to discuss payment arrangements with the Business Office. In order to qualify for an installment payment agreement and begin a degree program, the student must make the required minimum down payment and agree to make monthly tuition payments. Tuition payments must be received each calendar month until tuition is paid in full or be subject to a late charge. Neither a diploma nor a transcript will be issued until the student's obligation has been paid in full. All students must conform to their payment agreements.

Convenient financing of your education is available through Smith Christian University Managed Account (SCUMA), or through all major credit cards. Just complete the financial information form that will accompany your program.

Enrollment Agreement

Students are required to enter into an Enrollment Agreement with SCU upon entrance into the first class. The agreement is a contract signed by the student and a school official that gives information on costs, rights to cancel, and the refund policy.
