This brochure on
finances may be different from those you normally see. Most schools print
information concerning a vast number of government grants and loans that
are available to those who qualify. Others offer some basic scholarships
to a select number of students who meet certain qualifications.
At Southland, our
approach is to make the training affordable to all who desire to serve the
Lord. We are a non-profit educational institution. No such institution
expects its students to pay the entire cost of their education. Southland
relies on the support of interested churches and individuals to help
finance our ministry.
In addition, our
faculty and staff are all full-support missionaries. Their "salaries" are
based on the gifts of God's people who are convinced of the importance of
their work. In this way, the students are not paying inflated tuition and
related fees. They also gain the advantage of seeing missionaries
ministering on a daily basis.
Our goal is to make
available an excellent quality Bible education and ministry training
within the financial reach of anyone who desires it, especially for those
here in the Appalachian region. Any student who is willing to work hard
is able to attend Southland Bible Institute.

We realize that cost
is not the only factor in choosing a school, nor is it even the most
important. But we also realize that it is a factor that parents and
prospective students must consider. We want you to know that we offer an
alternative to the usual high-cost institutions that often rely on
government financing to stay in business. We keep our costs affordable
without compromising the quality of training. We praise God that He has
made this possible.
Christ reminded
those who desired to be His disciples to "consider the cost" of that
decision. We simply ask you to consider the sound investment of a quality
Bible education at an affordable cost.

Southland operates
as a faith mission. We rely on the Lord to raise up interested Christian
friends who are able to be a part of our ministry as they support us with
prayer and finances. In this way, we can provide a quality Bible
education at a minimum monetary cost.
APPLICANTS WILL BE
CONSIDERED REGARDLESS OF SEX, RACE OR NATIONAL ORIGIN.
