Scholarships are Available at this time

It is our strong desire to keep our theological education affordable and accessible to every person desiring to be trained and equipped for leadership and ministry for God's Kingdom. Scholarships are provided as a service to low-income students to help subsidize their on-going theological education
with The Urban Ministry Institute.

Are we called to Work?

At Tumi-LA each member of the staff is employed if not retired from employment and serves for the cause completely free as a volumeter. The Bible reveals to us that we need to work, God Himself Leds as an example as He worked the first 6 days of creation, Jesus worked as a carpenter and even Paul worked as a tanner and tent maker. We understand life happens and hardships comes about, and our hopes is that it’s a temporal circumstance that you may get employed and prosper.

Scholarship Eligibility

To be eligible to receive a student scholarship, a student is required to complete all Scholarship Application Requirements, showing proper evidence or sufficient explanation of his or her current financial need.

Each scholarship application submitted by a student must be approved by TUMI-LA. Each application will be reviewed and then approved or disapproved depending upon available scholarship funds and the financial/circumstantial need of the student.

The scholarship application must be submitted by the student prior to the start of the quarter in which the student wishes to enroll for classes in a given academic calendar year. If an application is received mid-quarter, any scholarship money awarded will become available the following quarter after he or she applies.

Scholarships are renewable each quarter as long as financial need exists, the student keeps his or her grades in good standing, and terms of the scholarship contract agreement are followed. A student must complete a minimum of three TUMI class per academic calendar year and must receive a letter grade of "B" or higher to keep his or her scholarship active. If this requirement is not met, the scholarship contract will be terminated, the student will at that time need to reapply for financial assistance.
*A student may want to speak to their church Pastor to find out if they have financial assistance that may cover the cost if the student’s expense, especially if they will expect to apply their advanced Biblical knowledge in the church that they attended. Many ministries may profit from the education taught at the Institution.

The number and amount of student scholarships awarded to eligible students each academic quarter are limited; therefore, scholarship funds are distributed on a first come first served basis “according to available funds.”

As of July 1, 2016, the maximum scholarship amount awarded to an approved, first-time applicant will be a half-scholarship. If after the first year of enrollment at TUMI, if further financial assistance is needed, the student applicant is invited to reapply for additional funds as they become available. Under special circumstances, exceptions may be granted as determined by TUMI-LA staff members.
