Genesis College & Seminary offers free tuition to those incarcerated thanks to the generosity of our donors. All other students pay either Regular Tuition or Adjusted Tuition, depending on their financial circumstances. In addition, the H. C. Johnson Scholarship is awarded to a limited number of applicants who meet the scholarship’s requisites. The cost of textbooks and resources are not included in tuition. Textbooks and resources are additional expenses.
Regular Tuition
Regular Tuition is the standard tuition that students pay for a college or seminary degree.
Adjusted Tuition (must qualify)
Adjusted Tuition is modified tuition for 1) individuals in qualified/certified transitional housing, drug rehabilitation and treatment centers, and 2) those with little or no income. Adjusted Tuition enables the marginalized of society to receive a college degree despite any financial obstacles. Financial need will be evaluated at the start of every degree program.
H. C. Johnson Scholarship (must qualify)
The H. C. Johnson Scholarship is awarded to a select number of students who share H. C. Johnson’s passion for Jesus. The scholarship honors the life and ministry of its namesake, a missionary who served the poor of India in the 1940s and 1950s and established many churches and training centers. Upon leaving the mission field, Johnson pastored several congregations and served God until he took his final breath. He was relentless in his desire to see the lost transformed by the power of the living Christ, leading countless people to Jesus.
To be eligible for the H. C. Johnson Scholarship, individuals must submit a scholarship application that describes their love and passion for Jesus, their unwavering commitment to reach the lost, and how they will use their education to be Christ-exalting leaders in their homes, churches, workplaces, and communities. The scholarship application is included in the handbook.
Students can apply for the H. C. Johnson Scholarship when submitting the Application/Enrollment form or at any time during their degree program. Students who receive the scholarship must maintain a minimum 3.0 G.P.A.
Fees
There is no application or enrollment fee. There are no additional charges for matriculation, diplomas, or the first two (2) sets of transcripts. Students can purchase extra diplomas for $35.00 each and extra transcripts for $7.00 each.
Tuition, fees, and scholarship requirements are subject to change at any time.

To receive a full or partial tuition refund, a student must submit the “Course Drop and Refund Request Form” or submit a request in writing. The Tuition Refund Policy is as follows:
- A full refund will be granted if the student submits a request within 14 days of the start date of a course.
- An 80% refund will be granted if the student submits a request within 15-30 days of the start date of a course.
- A 50% refund will be granted if the student submits a request within 31-45 days of the start date of a course.

The withdrawal date is the date that the written notification is postmarked. This date will be used to calculate the amount refunded.

Textbooks and Resources
Required textbooks and resources can be purchased through most bookstores and on-line vendors. Genesis College & Seminary recommends Christian Book Distributors (CBD) as their prices are very reasonable. Students can contact CBD at www.Christianbook.com or P.O. Box 7000 Peabody, MA 01911-7000.
Many of the required resources are available through the Genesis College Bookstore, which can send students course textbooks and resources directly upon order/payment. Students are charged an amount that reflects only Genesis’ cost for the resource plus the cost of mailing it to the student.
The list of required resources is made available to students when they are accepted/enrolled into a degree program. The list includes the stock number for each book from CBD or the Genesis College Bookstore.
