Costs, Deadlines, Scholarships and Credit Received for the Institute
Financial Aid and Scholarships Available
The Institute has limited scholarship money funded primarily by intermittent donations. When money is available, scholarships are awarded based solely on need. To receive a scholarship application, please contact the Office of Admissions at (719)548-4560 or email us at admissions@fotf.org.
We believe God not only ordains the process of selecting students, He is the financial source of those who attend the Institute. As God may ultimately provide the financial means to attend, a student should never let finances be the sole reason for not applying.
Because the Institute is not an independently accredited program, federally-funded grants and loans may not be accessible to the student unless you are attending the Institute from a participating college or university that has an agreement with Focus on the Family Institute.

For students who enroll through Colorado Christian University, there is an additional $100 fee that is paid after arrival at the Institute.
If you are a student receiving academic credit from your home institution, you will pay your remaining tuition, partial room and board costs by continuing to pay your home institution directly. FFI will invoice your school to receive payment for you. If you are receiving academic credit from Colorado Christian University, you will pay FFI directly. FFI will bill you at your permanent home address. Tuition payment is due in full at the beginning of each semester.

Rolling Admissions
Applications are now being considered on a rolling admissions basis. Currently qualified applicants may apply for the upcoming calendar year (i.e., During the 2008 calendar year, we will accept applications for 2009). Applicants may apply for any of the next calendar year's semesters at any time starting January 1 of the previous year up to the final application deadline for each respective semester. We will respond to an applicant with an admissions decision within three weeks of receiving a completed application (if the applicant is fully qualified at the time of application).
If an applicant is not accepted, our admissions staff will work with the student to determine the best way to pursue qualification before the desired semester of attendance.

Academic Credit Received
The Institute provides 15 hours of recommended academic credit during the fall/spring semesters (eight in the summer). Students may receive credit from their home institution dependant upon their school’s policies regarding transfer credits. For schools that do not permit direct transfer credit, Institute students may be able to transfer credit by registering to attend the Institute through Colorado Christian University -- a fully accredited private Christian college.
