Shimba Theological Institute is not about money, but about ministry. Our desire is to provide sincere Bible students who become a part of our Shimba family with the credentials they have always desired, but were never quite within their financial reach. Now this is possible with affordable tuition at $25.00 per credit hour.
Shimba Theological Institute charges per credit hour for the number of credit hours required to complete your program. The number of credit hours required will be disclosed upon completion of the online Application. Tuition may be fully paid in advance, or it may be paid progressively as you enroll for each course. There is also an enrollment fee and a graduation fee of $75.00 each.

Shimba Theological Institute is an authorized retailer for goods and services provided by the Institute. We require that students study online. This way, instead of interacting with a student one time at the end of each course, we are able to respond to answers on a daily basis, and make the teachings more personal.
All fees are non-refundable.
Please note that Shimba Theological Institute is registered in the USA as a non-profit, tax-exempted ministry organization. Shimba Theological Institute therefore cannot issue refunds under any circumstances. That means all fees paid to us remain non-refundable to the student, should the student decide not to continue with his/her studies. This includes any and all deposits made for: Registration Fees, Tuition Fees, Administration Fees, as well as Graduation Fees.
Should a student discontinue their studies after paying any fees, they have a 24-month period in which to bring their fees up to date and continue with their studies where they left off. Should they not continue or communicate to us within the 24 months that they have discontinued their studies, they will no longer be registered as a legitimate student with Shimba Theological Institute. We therefore urge prospective students to count the cost before they enroll.
