Recommendations for International Students:
We recommend that you start the application process at least several months prior to the date of when you wish to enroll. As an international student, you may be eligible for an International Student Grant worth $10,000. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to earn up to $1,000 through on-campus employment. We also offer a Church Matching Grant program where Eastern will match up to $1,000 of a contribution made by your home church and put all of the money toward the cost of your education. If you or your parents are involved in full-time ministry, you could qualify for a Ministerial Discount of $500.
Once you are accepted, you will need to furnish us with the following documents before we can send out your I-20:
- Affidavit of Support from parent/sponsor
- Bank Statement from parent/sponsor indicating that the balance of Tuition, Room and Board is available.
- Pre-payment of $10,000 (USD)
