But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
--Matthew 6:33
Northland's Internal Scholarship and Financial Aid

Work Study

The work study program offers part-time employment to students living on campus. Because a limited number of campus jobs are available to help students pay their school bills, Northland cannot guarantee jobs for all students or that each student will earn the stated amount each month. Each job is considered a ministry and a privilege.


A student's job performance must be satisfactory for him to continue working. A student who participates in the work study program may work no more than 20 hours per week. Students may apply for work study during registration. All work study wages are directly applied to a student's school account first and then to the Student Activity Account.

Academic Scholarship Information and Eligibility Criteria

The Academic Scholarship is available for any student who has completed four years of high school with a cumulative GPA of 3.60 or higher. A transfer student must have a 3.60 average for the semester (at least 15 credits) of college previous to his transfer. After he is enrolled at Northland, the student must maintain a 3.60 GPA, pass Christian Service class, and be enrolled for at least 15 semester hours of undergraduate credit to qualify for the scholarship (not including Pass/Fail classes). Once a student has qualified for the scholarship, he will receive $1,500 off his tuition for the next semester. A new student receives this scholarship the first semester he attends Northland assuming he meets the eligibility requirements. If a student drops below 15 hours in a single semester, he does not qualify for the next semester. He may be reinstated again after any semester in which he has 15 semester hours and a 3.60 grade point average. The student may qualify for the Academic Scholarship for eight semesters at Northland. If a student transfers to Northland, he can qualify for the scholarship only eight semesters including the semesters he attended the school from which he transferred. The Academic Scholarship does not apply to the master's program or to classes taken beyond a bachelor of arts/science degree. The master's classes have no effect on a student's GPA. The free master's class offered to any graduating senior is not counted toward the Academic Scholarship. Only scheduled college courses which meet regularly on a weekly basis are counted in the 15 semester hours required, including Physical Education, Concert Choir, Band, and Music Applied.

Ministry Scholarship Information and Eligibility Criteria

Northland Baptist Bible College’s founder, Paul Patz, had a great love for people and especially those serving God in full-time ministry. He understood the financial sacrifices most make in order to be in the ministry. While he believed in individual fiscal responsibility and a strong work ethic, he wanted to make Northland as affordable as possible for everyone and especially those whose parents served the Lord in this way. To this end, our Ministry Scholarship is the most generous scholarship we offer internally to our students. It is a $2,000 scholarship toward the cost of tuition each semester. Students whose head of household is in full-time Christian service or a ministry-related job are eligible.

Specific Requirements

  • A recipient must meet a ministry scholarship service requirement through involvement in an officially approved co-curricular ministry or service for which he or she will receive no remuneration.
