Fees
Level of Fees Print
We recognize that many of the people whom we seek to serve through our study programmes live in countries that are severely challenged economically and financially. We have sought, therefore, to keep the fees as low as possible so that all students who need to benefit from our programmes may do so.

The fees specified are compulsory, and all students are required to pay these fees before being admitted to the Seminary’s study programme. If even these low fees are beyond reach for some who wish to study through SGTS, we encourage such prospective students to seek the Lord earnestly for his provision: an essential part of our training for the Lord’s service is learning to depend on him to provide our needs. We further encourage prospective students who cannot afford the fees to approach their churches for guidance and assistance.

Since the fees have been reduced to the lowest possible level, it must be recognized that the Seminary’s ministry cannot be sustained by the fees alone; SGTS is dependent on the giving of God’s people to support its ministry. We would therefore urge and encourage all students to consider giving to the Seminary, in accordance with the way the Lord has blessed them, over and above the stated fees (cf. Galatians 6:6). This will help to support the Seminary’s ministry. It may be useful to bear in mind the guideline registration fees.
