Our goal is to glorify God by providing high-quality education that is affordable and accessible to almost everyone who needs it. That’s why we offer tuition-free education to everyone.
Tuition-free means students receive free instruction. In other words, they don’t pay to take the classes. Everyone attends classes for free and has access to lessons, assignments, peer-to-peer learning, and peer-to-peer assessments. Most of our professors volunteer their time to create courses to make this happen. The only requirement for receiving free instruction is that every semester, the student prays and makes a donation of any amount, even if it’s one cent. This donation is per semester, not per course.
While free instruction includes all learning opportunities, it doesn’t include a final assessment by an instructor, which is necessary if a student wants to get a grade in the course. This assessment is required to earn college credit and graduate with a degree or certificate. It’s not required if you simply want to gain knowledge and experience without a degree or certificate.
Students receiving our free instruction who want assessment to earn a degree or certificate pay a small assessment fee per course. This assessment fee enables us to pay the instructors who do the grading and support general university operations.

Scholarships
Students who can’t afford the small per-course assessment fees can take the courses for learning purposes free of charge or apply for the Shaping Destiny Scholarship, which will cover the assessment fee.
