Missionary Scholarship Program
Missionary Scholarship Program
Called to Be a Missionary, But Finances Are Holding You Back?
At SOLTI, we believe that nothing should prevent a committed soul from preparing for mission work. That’s why we created the Missionary Scholarship Program—a way for passionate, dedicated students to receive the training they need without bearing the full financial burden.
This program exists to help students afford the Comprehensive Evangelism course, ensuring that financial limitations don’t stop them from stepping into their calling. Through the Missionary Scholarship Program, accepted students will volunteer on campus in exchange for room, board, and credit toward their tuition.
This is more than just a scholarship—it’s an opportunity to step forward in faith, serve in a mission-driven environment, and take hold of the training that will equip you to impact the world for Christ.
What to Expect
A Community of Believers
Imagine living in a place where everyone is on fire for God—where your passion for mission is shared, encouraged, and strengthened. Here, you’ll find a family of mission-minded young people who share your passion for God’s work and who will walk this journey with you, challenge you to grow, and inspire you to go deeper in faith. This isn’t just a group of students—it’s a family of pioneers, world-changers, and dedicated servants of God.
Hands-On Experience in Service
There’s something powerful about working with your hands—whether planting seeds, preparing plant-based meals, maintaining buildings, or keeping spaces clean and welcoming. As a student, you’ll be assigned to areas like agriculture, cooking, maintenance, housekeeping, and more, depending on campus needs. Through this hands-on service, you’ll learn practical skills for future mission work and experience the beauty of laboring for a cause bigger than yourself.
Personal Growth
This is not just another program—it’s an experience that will shape who you become. Through long days of service, teamwork, and overcoming challenges, you’ll develop grit, discipline, and an unstoppable faith that will prepare you for the demands of mission life. Every task, every challenge, and every victory will refine you into a leader, a worker, and a warrior for God’s kingdom.
Spiritual Renewal
Step away from the noise of everyday life and immerse yourself in an atmosphere of deep faith. Here, your time will be filled with group worships, prayer vigils, small-group Bible studies, and Friday night vespers—all designed to help you draw closer to God. This is more than just a place to study or work; it’s a place where hearts are rekindled, faith is strengthened, and you are prepared for mission.
Experience Practical Service
Work alongside an experienced mentor, gain 1,000+ hours of hands-on training, and develop practical skills that will serve you for a lifetime. From planting to harvesting, irrigation to food preservation, you’ll gain real-world experience in sustainable agriculture and self-sufficient living—skills that will equip you for mission work and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the Missionary Scholarship Program?
The Missionary Scholarship Program is a month-to-month volunteer work program designed to help students fund their tuition for the Comprehensive Evangelism Course. Participants volunteer full-time (40 hours per week) in exchange for room, board, and credit toward their tuition.
2. How much credit do I earn each month toward my tuition?
Each month you volunteer full-time through the Missionary Scholarship Program, you earn the equivalent of 10% credit toward your total tuition for the Comprehensive Evangelism Course. This equals $1,500 in tuition credit for every full month of service (40 hours per week).
By volunteering for 10 full months, you can earn 100% tuition credit, effectively covering the entire cost of the Comprehensive Evangelism Course through your service. This program makes it possible for students to receive full missionary training without carrying a financial burden—all while gaining practical skills and contributing to the mission of the campus.
3. How long is the program, or can I come at any time?
Missionary Scholarship students can apply and come to campus at any time. How early you should arrive depends on your financial needs and how much tuition credit you want to earn before the next Comprehensive Evangelism Course begins.
If you have little or no finances available, you can still earn a full scholarship by volunteering full-time for 10 months before the course begins. Through your service, you can fully fund your missionary training without carrying a financial burden.
What if I arrive in the middle of the month?
Partial tuition credit may be awarded if a student completes at least 80 hours (equivalent to two full weeks) of volunteer work within a month.
In this case, students may receive $750 in tuition credit, subject to administrative approval.
4. What if I earn my tuition but the timing doesn’t match the next course start date?
Students who complete their volunteer work and earn full tuition credit ahead of schedule can defer enrollment and join the next available Comprehensive Evangelism Course.
Tuition credit earned through the Missionary Scholarship Program will remain valid and can be applied toward a future course, subject to approval and space availability.
Example: A student who finishes their volunteer service by November 2025 may enroll in the course starting in February 2026.
5. Is there a limit on how much credit I can earn?
Students may earn up to $15,000 in tuition credit through the Missionary Scholarship Program.
No additional tuition credit will be awarded for service beyond the full tuition amount, unless special arrangements are made.
Students are welcome to continue serving as volunteers after reaching the tuition cap, but any further service will not count toward additional tuition credit.
6. Is there any type of refund?
Tuition credit earned through volunteer work is non-transferable and non-refundable.
If a student fails to enroll within 12 months (the next school year) after completing their volunteer service, or voluntarily withdraws from the program, any unused credit will be forfeited unless otherwise approved by administration.
Exceptions may be granted on a case-by-case basis for situations such as medical emergencies or family crises.
