APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS

1. You must be a born again Christian (John 3). That is, you must know the Lord Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and it must be evident that you have a personal relationship with Him.

2. It is important, before you come to KBI, that your life should already demonstrate that you are seeking to live a life that is holy and right before God (Colossians 3). You should not be using alcohol, drugs, or tobacco in any form.

3. You must come prepared to cheerfully follow the rules of the School, desiring to work hard at your studies and desiring to apply the truths that you learn to your own personal life.

4. You must be 18 years old and have completed grade 12, or qualify as a "mature student" (19 years old or older).

5. You must have all personal debts paid off before coming to school. If your debt is too large to pay off right away, you will need to show us that arrangements can be made to properly look after your debt while you are at school. Students are not allowed to receive welfare while attending KBI. If the Lord wants you to attend KBI, He will provide the finances for you.

6. You must have a good working knowledge of English, as all courses are taught in English.

7. If you are a single parent, you must have your children in public school while attending KBI.

8. Prisoners may apply after their release and must have completed all their probationary requirements before attending KBI.

9. If you are married, both of you need to apply and enroll as students.

APPLICATION PROCESS

1. If you would like to attend KBI, fill out the application form and mail it in to KBI.

(If you do not have an application form, please contact us and we will send you one. Husbands and wives will need to fill out separate application forms. We need three reference forms for each of you.)

2. Have three people who know you well fill out the reference forms that come with the application. One of those people must be the pastor or missionary of the church or fellowship you are attending. Make sure that they mail these forms to us as soon as possible.

3. Once we receive your completed application form and all three reference forms, we will process your application.

4. If and when you are accepted, we will send you an acceptance letter along with an informational packet which will include more information about the School, as well as some basic guidelines we want you to be aware of before you come to KBI. If you have any questions, please feel free to write, phone or e-mail us. We'll be glad to answer your questions.

5. KBI will not accept applications from those who are under provincial or federal discipline until all terms of discipline and probation have been served in full. We recommend that individuals who would like to come to Bible school first of all seek to establish themselves with a church or Christian fellowship before coming to KBI.

COURSE REGISTRATION

1. Course registration takes place the first day of each Session.

2. No late comers. If you are late, you should expect to wait for the next Session.

3. Single students: please do not come any earlier than one day before the Session begins. Families with children in the public school system may arrive earlier so that their children can start public school at the proper time. You must make arrangements in advance with us if you are planning on arriving earlier than one day before the Session begins.

4. If you are enrolling for one particular course, you must make sure that you arrive on campus the day before that course begins. Exceptions must be made with the KBI Administrator.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Several individuals and organizations have established financial assistance to help KBI students. There are basically three different types of financial assistance available:

BURSARIES: Bursaries are awarded on an annual basis to students who have a financial need and are demonstrating a sincere desire to apply themselves to their school work and responsibilities. This money is credited directly to the student accounts.

STUDENT AID: We receive donations of various amounts on a monthly basis that are sent to KBI designated as Student Aid. As long as there is money in this Fund it is credited directly to student accounts which are in need of financial assistance for tuition, rent, room and board etc., and are in good standing with KBI. This money cannot be given directly to the student.

STUDENT BENEVOLENCE FUND: As long as there is money in this Fund, it is used to help students in difficult financial situations in order to help put food on the table (for student families) and to buy medication, etc. It is used as an emergency fund and is not to be relied on as a source of income.
