Financial Aid Information
Highlights
Ecclesia College is committed to making Christ-centered education affordable. Every student is automatically considered for financial aid, and 100% of students receive some form of assistance. Federal aid options include Pell Grants (up to $7,395/year), FSEOG grants (up to $3,000/year), and federal student loans. Parent PLUS loans are also available to help families cover remaining costs. Arkansas residents may qualify for additional aid through the Arkansas Academic Challenge Scholarship or the Governor’s Distinguished Scholarship. Ecclesia keeps debt low—graduates average significantly less student loan debt than the state or national average. For students who need it, Ecclesia partners with Inceptia to provide free loan counseling and repayment support after graduation. Completing the FAFSA early (preferably by February 14) is the first step to unlocking the full range of available aid. Ecclesia’s financial aid office walks with students every step of the way to ensure resources are in place for both academic success and financial peace of mind.
