Prospective Students > Financial Information
MBS tries to keep the cost of theological and ministry preparation accessible so that more people can benefit from its training programmes. As much as possible, students are urged to secure at least part of the financing needed for their education at MBS from their local church or Christian organization which supports the student’s call to ministry.
Through the generosity of donors who share our vision for theological and ministry training, MBS also has partial financial assistance available for eligible students from developing countries and from rural areas of Malaysia. If you want to find out more about financial assistance, get in touch with our Registrar at mbs-ed-registrar@mbs.org.my or 03-60371727 ext. 125.
