The economic situation in the former Soviet Union continues to be very difficult. Many people still struggle to pay for even their most basic needs. As a result, one of the biggest problems that DCU faces is that students simply cannot afford to pay for their own educational expenses. Many Christians feel called to professional ministry, and therefore theological training. But how can they pay for their tuition when they (and many people in their supporting churches) are struggling to survive?

In order to make it possible for these Christians to receive the education they need, funds must be raised to cover their tuition. And the reality is that many of these funds need to come from outside the former Soviet Union. Therefore, DCU has initiated what it calls the student scholarship program. It works like this…

The cost of tuition at DCU is US$2400 per year for a full-time student, US$1500 per year for a part-time student. We ask our students to pay for all of their living expenses, while we seek sponsors both locally and abroad to help pay for their tuition.

How can you help sponsor a student?

If you would like to support a student scholarship (US$200/month – full-time student scholarship, US$125/month – part-time student scholarship), you can make a donation online. Please indicate that you’d like the funds to go toward a student scholarship, giving the name of the student, if desired.

Our commitment to you

We believe that your partnership with us is critical in helping form the minds and hearts of our students. Therefore, we ask all supported students to write their sponsors at least twice per year so that they can communicate and know how to pray for one another.
