In addition to affordable tuition, Great Lakes Bible College provides Scholarships and Bursaries

Affordable Tuition

Great Lakes Bible College is very affordable, regardless of whether you choose to attend online, or in-person. Tuition is a little as 20% of comparable programs. Currently, the typical course is only $300 CAD for both Credit and Audit Students.


That means students get University Level Education at the same price point as most Community Colleges.


Great Lakes Bible College Bursary

The GLBC Bursary is open to students of all backgrounds after enrollment, and with a demonstrated Financial Need. Students from Churches of Christ will be given additional consideration. At the discretion of Great Lakes Bible College, awards may be aimed at encouraging specific groups or individuals into study. Full time students with the intention to pursue Ministry as a career will be given special consideration.

Note: An application to the GLBC Bursary does will not neccesarily result in award.


Scholarships for Credit-Track Students

  1. A Number of scholarships are awarded to returning students every year. The Norris and Myrtle Ellis, Charles G. McPhee, Gerald Whitfield Memorial Funds, Becky Hibbard Morgan Memorial Scholarship, Knutson-Mukitus-Timmerman Scholarship, Beverly Bailey Scholarship, and Garry and Janet Bailey Scholarships all provide student assistance each year.
  2. The Roger Peterson Biblical Geography Scholarship enables credit students to study Biblical geography as early as possible in their program of studies to enhance all of their Bible text courses and life-long ministries.

Note: The scholarship includes tuition and a copy of an excellent atlas of Bible lands.


To start your journey with GLBC, start with an application for Audit or for Credit.
