Scholarships:
As our prices are among the lowest, there can be no further reduction on the fees. However, donations may make bursaries available. Whenever available they shall be advertised together with the school and the donor's name (except if the donor elects to be anonymous). This revision of the FINANCIAL POLICY has been made in order to reflect our new vision of Training. Since YWAM is an International, Interdenominational, Multilingual and Multiracial Mission, the fee schedule takes all of the above factors into consideration in order to make University level of Education accessible to applicants meeting the requirements for admission.
We view the higher fees paid by students from more advantaged communities as their contribution to the process of empowering others who are less fortunate. We also find that most of the students find the Spiritual Enrichment they receive during their studies, is far more worth than money can ever pay for. Such generosity is always a welcome return to our founding values. Furthermore, we deeply appreciate the participation of students who feel the way we do about helping the needy.
NB: Should a student not complete a school the International refund policy on page 42 of the University of the Nations catalogue, will be applied to the student's fund.
Please note: all prices are subject to change (BE PREPARED)
This school is developed out of an existing ministry at YWAM Bethlehem, which was developed to train and equip local ladies from the community, who are struggling to find work, with a skill to bring in finances for their families.
The aim of the school is to equip missionaries who would like to reach people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ in countries where it is difficult to preach and openly speak about Jesus. Being equipped with the skill of sewing provides an opportunity to teach others the skill and in so doing build relationship which then opens a door to subtly share the Gospel.
