Scholarships

The question of Financial Aid presses in on the horizon. Can I afford to go to college? How will I pay for my education? One of the Christian worker’s greatest life-lessons is learning to trust God. How will I survive in the ministry? Who will pay the bills? How will I provide for my family? How can I undertake so much responsibility? Am I sufficient for this ministry? The questions do not go away after you finish Bible school! Scripture promises, “My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Phil.4:19). The best time to learn that lesson is right during Bible school. Friends of Penn View Bible Institute have provided a number of scholarships to help. A Work Scholarship program offers assistance. You’ll have to work and you’ll have to pray, but you can make it! Don’t be afraid to trust God! On the following pages, you will find information about several of the scholarships that are available at Penn View. Let’s see what the Lord will do for you! When you realize that the supply comes from His Hand, you will not mind living “from hand to mouth.” Come join other students who have been learning that “Our God Is Enough.”
