Our next program starts January 21, 2009. Enrollment is currently open.
The cost of the school is broken into two parts:
• $US 1000 (payable in installments)
Scholarships (in the form of discounted tuition) are available for students from Nicaragua, Central/South America and developing nations. The purpose of the scholarship is to encourage students from all parts to receive the training.
• $US 550 for students from developing nations (payable in installments)
The Classroom Phase fee includes housing, food, instruction and study materials. The fee does not include personal items or needs.
• The Outreach Phase costs vary, based on location, transportation costs, etc.. We frequently do at least half of the outreach in Nicaragua.
We try to maintain the cost of the program as low as possible to encourage participation. Some of the reasons that we are able to maintain the costs down are:
YWAM is a mission and therefore counts on the local church to participate in helping their missionary candidates in their preparation with economical support. God is always faithful.
