Students from first-world countries such as North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and the Far East will pay tuition fees at 200% i.e. 2 to 1 of the ZAR rate.<\/p>\n
Even considering this, a BTh degree from the Bible Institute of South Africa will cost considerably less than studying in the USA, UK, Anzac, or Europe, and has the advantage of cross-cultural exposure as well as hands-on ministry opportunities in an African context<\/p>\n
Please note that BISA FEES are significantly subsidized. Also, note that the full payment of fees at the beginning of the academic year attracts a five percent discount.<\/p>\n
Students will need to notify BISA of incoming payments that are to be credited to their student account so that we can allocate payment correctly \u2013 this applies especially to electronic transfers. Use your student’s name as a reference.<\/p>\n
i) To encourage students to pay upfront, we are offering a discount on full fee payment at the beginning of the academic year.<\/strong><\/p>\n
The Discount is 5% on full tuition fees for BTh and Gap-Year students if paid on or before Registration day in the first semester (ie. end of Jan)<\/p>\n
ii) Students whose parents are in full-time Ministry are eligible for a discount.<\/strong><\/p>\n
The Discount is 25% on tuition fees for students whose Parents are in Ministry<\/p>\n
Payments may be made to the College in the form of a Cheque, electronic transfer, or direct deposit. Please note that BISA does not have Credit Card facilities.<\/p>\n
Cash payments are accepted but we would prefer the student to make a deposit directly into the college\u2019s account rather than handing over large sums of money. Please send us a copy of the bank\u2019s deposit slip.<\/p>\n
Payments issued from foreign countries can be made via bank draft or, preferably, a telegraphic transfer (TT) \u2013 as this is a safer option. Please include the cost of the bank service fees for drafts and TTs.<\/p>\n
Please notify BISA of incoming payments that are to be credited to your student account so that we can allocate your payment correctly \u2013 particularly if it is an electronic transfer. Use your student name as a reference<\/p>\n
