Financing Your Education
Once accepted for training at ETC, students will receive a missionary account with Ethnos360 to use for non-tax deductible financial support. We recommend communicating with your sending church about financial partnership alongside prayerful support.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I work while attending as a student?
Students choosing employment while attending Ethnos360 Training Center are expected to fulfill all training requirements, class responsibilities and extracurricular responsibilities which generally take place during weekday afternoons but include some time during evenings and weekends.
Does ETC take Veteran’s Benefits?
Ethnos360 Training Center’s program has been approved by the Missouri state approving agency for payment of VA educational assistance benefits to Veterans and other eligible persons.
Do I need to have all the money before attending?
An initial fee and an apartment deposit must be paid prior to starting the training program. The remaining balance can be paid through monthly payments for each semester.
Can I take out student loans to attend ETC?
No, student loans are not available for our program.
Can I raise support as a missionary to attend?
Yes. However, the organization is unable to provide tax receipts for donations made during your training period as you are not a member or employee at that time.
Do I need to bring a vehicle?
In this rural setting, having a vehicle for transportation is highly recommended for tasks like running errands, attending ministry or church. However, it is possible to get by without owning a car.
What happens if I can’t meet the payment schedule?
Students are expected to stay on top of their school payments. If you fall significantly behind in your payments, the leadership may consider asking you to step out temporarily until you can resume paying your bills.
