Financial Aid

Financial aid at Great Commission University begins with the commitment of the affiliated ministries to quality education. Gifts from the affiliated ministries and faithful individuals provide major funding for financial assistance. The University Financial Aid serves as a tool to meet the enrollment goals of the University and attract students who would contribute to His Kingdom and the diverse student population. The goal of financial aid is to remove financial barriers in order to maintain access for qualified students. If a student has received federal or state student financial aid funds, the student is entitled to a refund of the money not paid from federal student financial aid program funds. The University does not offer Federal or State Financial Aid Programs including Title IV at this time. However, various assistance programs are offered by the University and its affiliated ministries. All aid granted is based on the availability of funds.

Application Process and Forms

The scholarship application forms are available on Populi. Updated financial aid information and application forms are made available at least 60 days prior to the deadline. Specific instructions and eligibility information are included on the page of the financial aid program on Populi. Please contact any application questions to the Financial Aid Office by calling at (260) 217-4712 or studentfinance@gcuniv.org.  Please contact the Financial Aid Office immediately upon any decision to cancel an application after it has been submitted. Financial aid recipients are notified by email regarding award status at least 21 days prior to the payment deadline.  All aid recipients are required to draft a personal “Thank You” letter addressed to the affiliated ministries or fund donors. Students and donors alike have greatly benefited from the fellowship and joy generated through this unique element of the Financial Aid Program. Financial Aid Program recipients who register as full-time students and then withdraw to part-time hours, or withdraw from active enrollment, must relinquish all scholarship funds and bear responsibility for full payment of all tuition charges.
