Work on Campus,
Earn Your Tuition

At Streams of Light, we believe that nothing should prevent a committed soul from preparing for mission work. That’s why we created the Missionary Scholarship Program—a way for passionate, dedicated students to receive the training they need without bearing the full financial burden.

The program allows accepted participants to volunteer on campus in exchange for room, board, and credit toward their tuition. The scholarship works on a one-for-one basis: for each semester of training, students complete one semester of scholarship service. For the two-semester Comprehensive Evangelism Program, this means two semesters of service followed by two semesters of training.

  • Commit to approximately 40 hours of campus service each week.
  • Be assigned to areas based on current campus needs. No previous experience is required; training and supervision are provided.
  • Work alongside experienced mentors, gain up to 1,000+ hours of hands-on training, and develop practical skills that can serve you for a lifetime.
  • The scholarship covers tuition, housing, and meals. Students remain responsible for expenses such as the application fee, travel, visa costs, personal needs, and recreation.

No Separate Scholarship Required

These two programs follow a different model, with financial support already built into the program. You can begin your training directly without completing a separate Work Scholarship beforehand.

You Have a Question?

How much tuition credit can I earn?

The amount of tuition credit you earn each month depends on the length of your selected program.

For a two-semester program, each full month of service earns 10% of the total tuition cost. After 10 full months of service, students can earn up to 100% tuition credit.

For a one-semester program, each full month of service earns 20% of the total tuition cost. After 5 full months of service, students can earn up to 100% tuition credit.

For example, if a two-semester program costs $15,000, each full month of service earns $1,500 in tuition credit.

How long is the Work Scholarship?

The length of your Work Scholarship depends on the length of the program you plan to attend and how much tuition credit you need to earn.

A one-semester program requires up to 5 full months of scholarship service to earn 100% tuition coverage. A two-semester program requires up to 10 full months of scholarship service to earn 100% tuition coverage.

Students may be able to begin their scholarship service at different times throughout the year, depending on campus availability and the start date of their selected program.

What if I finish my scholarship before my program begins?

If you complete your required scholarship service before your program begins, you may use your earned tuition credit toward the next available start date for your selected program, subject to approval and space availability.

Is there a limit to how much tuition credit I can earn?

Students may earn up to 100% of the tuition cost of their selected program. For example, if tuition is $15,000, the maximum scholarship credit would be $15,000.

Service beyond the full tuition amount does not normally generate additional tuition credit unless a special arrangement has been approved.

Is scholarship credit refundable or transferable?

Tuition credit earned through the Missionary Scholarship Program is non-refundable and non-transferable.

Students are expected to enroll within 12 months, or the next school year, after completing scholarship service. Unused credit may be forfeited after that period unless otherwise approved.

Exceptions may be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Who is eligible to apply?

The Missionary Scholarship Program is designed for students who:

  • Plan to enroll in an eligible tuition-based program
  • Need financial assistance with tuition
  • Are able to participate in assigned practical campus service
  • Are willing to serve approximately 40 hours per week
  • Are committed to Christian service and the mission of Streams of Light
Can I participate part-time?

The Missionary Scholarship Program is designed as a full-time commitment of approximately 40 hours per week. Regular part-time participation is generally not available.

Students beginning or ending their scholarship partway through a month may still be eligible for partial tuition credit after completing at least 80 hours of approved service. This generally represents half of the normal monthly tuition credit for the selected program and is subject to administrative approval.

Can international students apply?

Yes. International students may apply, but they are responsible for obtaining and maintaining the appropriate visa or immigration status for the duration of their scholarship service and training.

International applicants are encouraged to contact our Admissions team early before making travel arrangements.

Who can I contact if I have more questions?

Our Admissions team can help with scholarship availability, tuition credit, required service time, program start dates, and questions about your individual situation.
