Additional information

The college financial aid process can seem very overwhelming but our friendly and professional financial aid team at Elim will walk with you as you complete the necessary online forms for Federal, State (if applicable), and Institutional Aid. Once everything has been turned in, your financial aid award will be prepared and sent to you to review and accept.

Our Commitment to You

We have always been and will continue to be committed to providing impactful and affordable Christian education. Our cost of attendance continues to remain affordable and 100% of our full-time students receive Financial Aid. We are committed to ensuring that out-of-pocket direct college expenses for full-time residential students will not exceed $13,900, regardless of the program they are enrolled in and most will pay much less than that.
