Financial Assistance

As a nonprofit institution, Central Christian University offers some of the lowest tuition rates among other universities. Additionally, flexible payment plans make CCU’s even more affordable. Our staff is available to answer your questions about your tuition costs and get you on the fast track toward accomplishing your educational and life goals. Payment plans are discussed during meetings where the student is evaluated, privately and impartially, to determine the dollar amount that they and their family can be expected to contribute to their education. This amount is then compared to the associated cost of education, including tuition, fees, books, and supplies. Payment arrangements must be made prior to the start of the term/semester. This means that students on a tuition payment plan must make their first payment before the term begins. The University does not charge interest rates on its payment plan.

At CCU, we understand the importance of making education accessible and affordable. That’s why we offer a flexible Student Payment Plan Program to help ease the financial burden of tuition. Our payment plans allow students to break their tuition and fees into manageable monthly installments, eliminating the need for large upfront payments. Designed with flexibility in mind, these plans are interest-free and tailored to fit your budget.

Interest-Free Payments: No additional charges for utilizing the payment plan.
Customizable Schedules: Plans can be adjusted to align with your financial situation.
Convenient Payment Options: Pay online, by mail, or in person for ease and flexibility.

To enroll or learn more about our payment plan program, please contact the Bursar’s Office at 407-290-1609.

We are here to help you succeed and make your CCU experience as smooth as possible.
