Scholarship Exemption

At Christian Faith Institute (CFI), we believe that no one should be prevented from answering God's call because of financial difficulties. Our scholarship program is designed to support eligible students who desire to study God's Word and receive sound biblical training for their calling.

Scholarships are awarded at the discretion of the institution and may be withdrawn at any time if necessary. Students who choose to opt out of the scholarship program may do so upon recommendation from the institution.

Who Is Eligible?

CFI scholarships are available only to full-time boarding students. To benefit from the scholarship program, you must be enrolled as a full-time boarding student.

Scholarships are not available for postgraduate students. However, postgraduate fees are intentionally kept affordable to make further theological education accessible to those who desire it.

If you would like to know whether you qualify for a scholarship, please contact us.

A Place for Everyone

CFI is committed to creating an environment where everyone has the opportunity to grow in God's purpose.

Your disability does not disqualify you. We welcome students with visual impairment (blindness) and hearing impairment (deafness), believing that God can work powerfully through every life.

As an instrument in God's hands, CFI is dedicated to helping every student discover, develop, and fulfill God's purpose.

At CFI, both the educated and the uneducated have a place to be trained for God's work.

CFI Accreditation

Christian Faith Institute is registered with the Plateau State Government as a higher institution.

CFI is also registered with the Association of African Theological Colleges.

At present, CFI has not yet obtained university accreditation or affiliation with a Nigerian university. The institution continues to pursue additional accreditation so that CFI graduates may have greater opportunities to pursue advanced studies in accredited Nigerian institutions.

Our Mission Comes First

While academic accreditation is valuable, CFI's primary mission is to train leaders and believers who will serve the Body of Christ and make a lasting impact on the nations.

We believe that while secular accreditation has its place, godliness is of greater profit, and the knowledge of God remains valuable regardless of human recognition.

For this reason, CFI graduates are widely recognized within churches because they demonstrate spiritual maturity, sound biblical understanding, and readiness for ministry.

Gradduation Policy

CFI offers Diploma, Degree, Master's, and Ph.D. programmes. At the end of each programme, every student must satisfy the graduation requirements before a certificate can be awarded.

These requirements include the submission of a project, dissertation, or thesis (where applicable) for review and approval.

For undergraduate students, a mandatory six-month service is required before graduation. During this period, each student serves the institution (CFI) in one of its departments for six months. A certificate will only be awarded after the student has completed this service and fulfilled all other academic requirements, including the successful completion of the required project.

About NYSC

Anyone intending to study at CFI should know that CFI is not yet a government-accredited institution or affiliated with an accredited institution in Nigeria for NYSC purposes. Therefore, CFI does not submit students' names to the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).

CFI is a Bible college registered with the Plateau State Government as a tertiary institution, but it is not yet fully accredited for NYSC participation. As a result, CFI graduates do not participate in the NYSC scheme.

More on Admmision

Like every institution, CFI has admission requirements for its programmes. However, our admission process is not intended to make academic qualifications a barrier to anyone who has a genuine desire to be trained for God's work.

The only basic requirement is that applicants must be 18 years of age or older.

Whether you have written WAEC or NECO or not, whether you passed English Language, Mathematics, Government, History, Literature, Chemistry, Physics, Christian Religious Knowledge (CRK), Computer Studies, Agricultural Science, Health Education, or other subjects, or even whether you completed primary or secondary education, CFI welcomes you.

Our primary mission is to equip men and women for God's work, and we believe that academic qualifications should not prevent anyone from answering God's call.
