The Real Cost of Education
Regent College recognizes the high cost of education. We do our best to make our programs affordable to students through College fund-raising initiatives and by making employment opportunities and financial aid available to students; however, the primary responsibility for meeting the costs of education remains with the student. As a private, transdenominational school, Regent College is not provided government or denominational support.
In the year 2005–06, the cost of educating one full-time student is estimated at $19,350. While that figure seems high, especially by Canadian standards, each student will nevertheless be subsidized by about 37% of the actual cost. Tuition for a student taking
30 credits over the year will only be $12,180.
This tuition assistance is provided, for the most part, by donations from outside sources. The mission of the College’s Development Office is to raise funding that will cover a significant part of a student’s fees. The funds raised are referred to as the Student Support Subsidy Program. This investment in the lives of Regent students is made possible through gifts from alumni and other individuals who care about the kind of Christian education we provide and believe in the potential of the men and women who attend the College.
Students planning to study at Regent are therefore encouraged to plan their financial situation carefully, taking into consideration any savings they might have, possible family or church support, employment, as well as private and government student loans.
