Newlife International School of Midwifery is pleased to provide financial assistance to qualifying students. Although our tuition fees are lower than most midwifery schools, the overall cost to attend Newlife can be made even more affordable through financial aid.

If you are truly interested in attending our school but uncertain how you can afford the cost we want to show you how it may be possible. We are sensitive to student's financial limitations and we wish to provide assistance to ensure each student can receive funds for which they qualify.

Our Philosophy Of Financial Aid

• We believe the primary responsibility for financing education lies with the student and her family (parents or spouse) and that each student should make an investment in her education through self-help which we define as funds derived from employment earnings, parental contribution (for dependent students), savings, home church sponsorship, and/or loans.
• We believe all students with a financial need should be willing to make a contribution from current earnings to the greatest extent possible and a willingness to borrow against future earnings.
• We recognize and define financial aid to include grants, scholarships and loans made by the school or a third party payable directly to the student's account. All financial aid is limited to tuition payments only and may not apply to other school fees, travel expenses or personal expenses.
• We recognize that grants and scholarships are considered as 'gift-aid' that the awarded student is not required to repay. Students who receive loans however are required to repay any and all loans provided by the school or third party.
• We accept the responsibility to convey clearly to each student the implications and responsibilities inherent in the acceptance of loan funds. We believe students should be counseled in the wise use of privileges when requesting loan funds.
• We believe that because institutional funds are not sufficient to fully meet every student's need, a maximum limit should be set on the percentage of need to be met by gift-aid, herein defined as grants, scholarships and any other assistance not requiring repayment.
• We believe that spreading funding resources over the largest number of applicants provides greater opportunity to assist the maximum number of students in reaching their educational goals.
• Any and all financial awards are based on certain criteria and the amount of funds available.
  

Please Note: The due date for submitting Financial Aid applications is six weeks prior to the start date of each new semester for which the student is applying.
