Minimum Age: The applicant must be at least 18 years old.
Application Completion: Submission of a fully completed application along with all required admissions documentation for the chosen program of study.
Financial Responsibility: The applicant must have the ability to meet tuition and fee obligations, as City Revival University does not participate in federal financial aid programs, grants, or student loans.

Scholarships are available at the discretion of the President of City Revival University (CRU). Recipients are required to comply with all scholarship conditions and are evaluated individually each quarter to ensure continued eligibility.

At this time, CRU does not provide student loans, federal grants, or other forms of government financial assistance. Students are responsible for covering all tuition and fees. Payment plans are available to help manage tuition and related costs.

CRU does not participate in, accept, or seek eligibility for federal financial aid programs. This includes PELL Grants, the GI Bill, and Federal Student Loans, which are not accepted as methods of payment for tuition or fees.

Prospective students seeking to attend City Revival University must complete the online admissions application and submit a non-refundable application fee of $50.00. Following the submission of a completed application, new students may be asked to participate in a pre-admission interview with a member of the university staff. Applicants requesting academic credit for prior coursework must arrange for an official transcript to be sent directly to the Office of Admissions.

Once all required materials have been received and the student has been officially accepted, they may attend orientation and proceed to register for classes. Applications remain valid for 12 months. Applicants who have been accepted but are unable to attend during the current academic year may defer enrollment for up to 12 months. After this period, they must submit a new application for consideration.

At City Revival University, we believe that receiving a high-quality spiritual education—preparing individuals for service to the Lord Jesus Christ—should not result in burdensome financial debt.

Accordingly, CRU has chosen not to pursue costly regional accreditation that would enable access to government-backed student loans. Institutions that participate in such programs often charge the maximum tuition allowed, leaving graduates with substantial debt. For those called to ministry, such financial obligations can create significant challenges in fulfilling God’s calling. To provide a sustainable alternative, City Revival University maintains an independent, yet fully valid, accreditation through the Association of Independent Christian Colleges and Seminaries (AICCS).

Additionally, CRU does not participate in government-sponsored grants. This approach reflects our commitment to offering the most affordable, high-quality spiritual education possible, serving both the Lord and His students as part of our ministry.

Student General Fee: The annual general fee covers essential student services and resources, including access to the student management system, student ID, class recordings, regalia, banquets, and participation in student events.

Textbooks: Textbooks are not included in tuition and must be purchased separately by each student. The cost of textbooks varies by quarter depending on the courses taken.
