Tuition Benefits

CBT Student Cochrane

Get Support to Finance your Christian Education

Through the generous support of our donors, CBTS&C is proud to offer thousands of dollars in tuition benefits and scholarships to students in an undergraduate or graduate program.

Tuition Benefits are approved on an annual basis and students must submit a new application for each school year by the deadline stated, or the benefit will be forfeited.

Withdrawal from courses that drop the student below the number of credit hours required for that scholarship may result in the student having to repay the money awarded.

The application for Scholarships and Benefits has moved to Populi, under ‘Links’!

For assistance, reach out to the business office.
