Choosing an application route

CBC routes applicants through separate options for entering freshmen, international students, adult and online learners, and military students. If you are transferring or returning after a break, ask an admissions counselor to review your transcript and identify which credits can count toward your intended major. The application page links to the matching form and Admissions contact; request the current document and testing checklist for your student type.

Scholarships and other aid

CBC lists annual merit awards from $1,000 to $8,500 for first-time freshmen and transfer students, plus named grants for categories such as siblings attending together, religious education majors, referrals, and military or veterans’ aid. One listed Religious Education Grant offers a 50% tuition discount for qualifying juniors or seniors in Religious Education, Missions, or Youth Ministry. Endowed and cash scholarship applicants must submit the CBC scholarship form and FAFSA; the published deadline is March 15, with awards determined by the end of April. Amounts can change with available funds and eligibility, so confirm which award applies to your major and enrollment status. See the college’s scholarship page and use FAFSA code 001093.

Student comments often value a small community, helpful faculty, and a Christian environment. Some also wish for more student activities and improvements to dining and housing. These are voluntary personal accounts, not a prediction of every student’s experience. When you visit, ask to see the residence hall you would use, what activities run during a regular week, and what chapel or faith-life participation is expected. Read public student comments about CBC.
