Finances

The cost of the program is $9,550 which accounts for the entire program including tuition, room and board as well as any domestic ministry-related travels for the year.

At Orientation, students will be asked to choose one option and commit in writing to completing the financial responsibility laid out in their chosen payment option.

The student is responsible for ensuring that monthly payments are turned in to the Site Coordinators or to the office by the last day of each month. Checks can also be mailed directly to the office:

GCBI
594 Citrus Trail
Lake Placid, FL
33852

Students should be aware that early payments are welcomed and that late payments may have consequences.

Meal Plan

GCBI stocks the pantry and refrigerator at the Institute with basic, healthy foods for breakfasts and lunches (such as fruit, vegetables, lunch meat, bread, soup, juice, milk, etc.)  We do not provide all specialty foods but will do our best to fulfill any dietary restrictions. Two to three nights a week, student dinners are provided by members of the local church and community. Our kitchen is equipped with a microwave, toaster ovens, hot plates and a coffee maker, as well as utensils, dishes, cookware, etc.  A list of groceries provided is available upon request. Please note that as part of the commitment to the program, students are expected to attend community dinners.
