FAQ

When are payments due?

Students are billed by semester (total annual cost/2) with two options to pay.

Option 1

Pay for the full semester, half of the annual cost, plus books and fees that apply.  Payment is due at registration.

Option 2

Make a down payment at registration.

Fall

For Fall, 60% of the semester cost is due at Fall Registration. The remaining balance for the semester will be divided into three equal payments that are due the 15th of each month starting with September. Also, students will pay all other charges, including the installment fee, books, and other fees that may apply at registration.

Spring

In the Spring, 20% of the semester cost is due at Spring Registration. The remaining balance will be divided into three payments that are due the 15th of each month starting with February. Also, students will pay all other charges, including the installment fee, books, and other fees that may apply at registration.

Will my child be able to find a part-time job to pay their school bill?

Oklahoma City’s strong job market makes it possible for students to find a variety of jobs ranging from banking to fast food to day care to warehouse labor to retail to hospitality to manufacturing and more.  An annual job fair is held each August on campus during registration for the sole purpose of local employers interviewing and hiring Heartland students for part-time employment.  Students may also apply online for on-campus employment in the areas of maintenance, food service, bookstore, campus service center, housekeeping, security, music department, and the offices.

How can my child apply for financial assistance?

Heartland has a limited number of financial aid opportunities available to the student. These include institutional scholarships that are provided for need, merit, and service.

Students should pursue every opportunity for additional financial assistance from other sources, which might include: family resources, help from the home church, church scholarship funds, alumni scholarship funds, scholarships available from school districts and community organizations, scholarships from employers, and other private sources.  See our financial information page for more about financial assistance.

It is also important to remember that, due to the funding structure at Heartland Baptist Bible College, students pay less than the cost to educate them because of the generous financial support provided by local churches.  This support is passed along to students through the radically affordable cost of attending.

How do I make a payment on my child’s bill?

  1. Pay directly on their account through the student’s portal (student must grant access).
  2. Pay online here.
  3. Mail a check to the Finance Office at 4700 NW 10th Street, Oklahoma City, OK 73127, payable to HBBC, including the student’s name and student ID number in the memo line.
  4. Pay by phone with your debit or credit card. Simply call 405.943.9330 and ask for the finance office.
  5. Pay with cash, check, debit or credit card in the finance office.

Why is Heartland so affordable?

Faithful church support combined with Bookstore and Music Group sales directly reduces the cost for each student.  This results in the equivalent of a 44% scholarship for every Heartland student which makes it possible to only charge $9,060 per year for Tuition, Fees, Room and Board.  This unique affordability allows every student the opportunity to graduate and enter ministry free of student debt.
