Fees & financial aid

An affordable, supported education

Tuition at RCTC is deliberately kept within reach of those called to ministry, and no student who finishes strong has ever been held back by fees alone.

  • Transparent fees — the full schedule for every programme is published in the application portal before you commit.
  • Instalment plans — fees can be spread across the semester by arrangement with the bursary.
  • Scholarships & bursaries — merit awards, ministry sponsorships, and a hardship fund supported by alumni.
  • Work-study — a limited number of library and campus roles for full-time students.
