International Scholarships

番茄影视 has a limited number of tuition scholarships available for international students. Only those who show exceptional promise for leadership and plan to return to their home country to carry out their ministry will be considered. The scholarship is renewable for the duration of the degree program as long as the student continues to meet the requirements of the award.

Scholarships are only awarded to new students at the beginning of their program of study. If a student enrolls without a scholarship, he/she will not be eligible to apply for scholarships at a later date. Therefore, we encourage students to continue building relationships and raising support through family, friends, local church and/or sending organization to cover full educational and living expenses.

International applicants who wish to be considered for a tuition scholarship should complete the admissions process by January 1st preceding the date of expected matriculation.
