Tuition & Fees

TUITION

Tuition is $6,500 for first and second year students, and $3,250 for third year students.

RDS budgets for the entire school year according to how many students are enrolled. If a student drops out, or is dismissed, his or her tuition and fees are non-refundable. We are intentional to keep tuition cost low, to accomplish this goal, there will be some fundraisers that all students will be required to work. All fundraisers help cover any extra program costs.

WHAT DOES TUITION COVER?

HOUSING & SUPPLIES

RDS will provide rented housing for all students. House cleaning supplies, kitchen supplies, and the basic
necessary household appliances/furniture will be provided.

FOOD EXPENSES

A monthly food stipend will be provided for second and first year students. When traveling with RDS on ministry trips, all
meals will be provided.

STUDY MATERIALS

A portion of tuition covers some study materials needed for our academic courses.

DOES RDS PROVIDE PAYMENT PLANS?

We understand that not all accepted students will have all the required tuition upfront, so different payment plans are available.

For all students a $1,000 movie-in fee is due at the beginning of the year. After this, there are two other ways to finance the year. The total amount of tuition up front. Those that choose the up-front option will receive a 5% discount. The second way to finance the year is a monthly payment plan that is withdrawn automatically from an account that the student or person responsible provides.
