Frequently Asked Questions
What are the tuition costs?
The current tuition costs are $50 US per term. Thousands of students from around the Caribbean are deprived of a Bible College education due to lack of funds. WISE was designed to help those deprived students gain Bible knowledge through the wise use of funds of other dedicated workers. Most of your tuition and sustenance are provided on a work/study basis, and your participation and cooperation with the cooking, cleaning and other matters of school upkeep is required.
The tuition fee must be paid to the school in BD (Barbados Dollars) or in US currency before the end of each term. Payment must be in cash and students who are unable to pay the tuition fee before the end of the term may forfeit their ability to continue classes into the next term.
