Financial Aid
Financial aid at Great Commission University begins with the commitment of affiliated ministries to quality education. Gifts from affiliated ministries and faithful individuals provide major funding for financial assistance. University Financial Aid serves as a tool to meet 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 and maintain access for qualified students. For students who were previously granted federal or state student financial aid funds to attend other institutions, they should be aware that they may be entitled to a refund of that money not yet paid from federal student financial aid program funds to their previous institution. Great Commission 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
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 is included on the Populi financial aid program page. Please contact the Financial Aid Office with any application questions by calling (260) 217-4712 or emailing studentfinance@gcuniv.org. Please contact the Financial Aid Office immediately upon deciding 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 personal “Thank You” letters addressed to the affiliated ministries or fund donors. Both 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.
