• Subsidized: This is a need-based loan, fixed at an interest rate, in which the government pays for the interest while the student is enrolled in school at least half-time. This loan is deferred until the student graduates or drops below half-time. The eligibility for this is determined by the FAFSA.
• Unsubsidized: This is a loan with a fixed interest rate, in which the student is responsible for paying for the interest while enrolled in school at least half-time. This loan is deferred until the student graduates or drops below half-time.

Grants are financial assistance that does not need to be paid back. This can vary in types: both government and institutional grants as well as scholarships and such.

In 2019, 67% of students graduate with less than $20,000 in loan debt, compared with the national average of $29,800. Many students are also able to graduate with zero debt. During a time when student loan debt is as high as ever, TMU is recognized by the Department of Education for creating an environment where the burden of student loan debt repayment is much less than at almost every other campus in the country. Additionally, TMU has been recognized in LendEDU’s 2019 annual report on student loan default rates for having one of the lowest default rates not only in California but the entire country as well. Nationwide, the default rate at Master’s University placed in the 90th percentile.”

The Financial Aid Office suggests that you begin the FAFSA in October and work on all of the documents you need to turn in (you can see what you need to complete on your self-service) by March 2nd.

We also accept unofficial scores for admissions but require that official scores are submitted before enrolling in classes.

To qualify to apply for academic scholarships, like the President’s Scholarship and others, we require official test scores.

For distinguished academic scholarships, we required a minimum ACT/SAT score of 19/1000 for a 4.0 GPA, sliding to a 36/1600 with a GPA of 3.0. For transfers, a minimum GPA of 3.75 is required without a test score to qualify for distinguished.

For honors academic scholarships, we required a minimum ACT/SAT score of 19/1000 for a 3.95 GPA, sliding to a 36/1600 with a GPA of 2.95. For transfers, a minimum GPA of 3.25 is required without a test score to qualify for honors.

These will update for the 2023-24 academic year to reflect the updated tuition and scholarships.

Why would a parent want to systematically and effectively un-build the biblical foundations they themselves have been building? Ask yourself,

• Do you want your child’s professors and peers to encourage students to know God and to pursue righteousness?
• Do you want your child’s professors and peers to equip believers and to teach a basic scriptural skill set?
• Do you want your child’s professors and peers to teach Scripture as the supreme authority for Godly living?

Developing wisdom, establishing convictions, and producing leaders. That’s why it is important for homeschool students to attend a Christian university.

Typically, admissions require a GPA above a minimum range of 2.75 or above. You’ll also need an SAT, ACT, or sometimes accepted CLT score. Finally, you’ll need a high school diploma.

TMU requires personal statements and essays and a pastor’s recommendation.

You’ll also need a transcript. A homeschool transcript should include each class studied beginning in ninth grade with a letter grade assigned to each class. Use a credit system to calculate GPA. The transcript should be current through the date of applying to the university, and a final transcript must be submitted upon completion of schooling. If the transcript is produced by the parent, then a parental signature is required along with the date of signing.

In absence of a final transcript, the GED or California Proficiency Exam is accepted

1. Update the high school transcript with all courses (homeschool, co-op, online, outside, or dual enrollment) that count towards high school graduation.
2. Calculate cumulative GPA for 9th through 11th grades.
3. List all 12th-grade courses, plus credits that students plan to take during the senior year. Place IP (in progress) or SP (spring) in grade column.
4. Update the student’s extracurricular activity sheet.
5. Complete course descriptions for all academic 9th- through 12th-grade courses for your records.
6. Search for scholarship opportunities and make selections. List requirements, documentation, and deadlines.

For scholarships, keys to success are high test scores (ACT, SAT, or CLT ), academic achievement (AP, dual enrollment, honors), and extracurricular activities.

Juniors and seniors in high school can take accredited, college-level Bible and General Education courses on-campus or online. These classes meet high school graduation requirements and earn college credits at a reduced cost, and of course, the class credits are transferable to most colleges.

Perhaps the biggest benefit of dual enrollment is that your student may start accumulating college credits, helping him or her graduate on time or even early.

• These classes also give students a helpful sneak-peak into what college courses entail and what the college is like.
• This means lower course loads in college
• It also means you can access many classes which your high school does not offer

Before starting, make sure the colleges in which you are interested would accept the dual enrollment credit, and check to see that your high school doesn’t offer the same class. Also, consider the total workload before over-committing.

However, several factors exist, so we don’t publish specific minimums. We’re looking for students who have succeeded in college preparatory high school classes and have earned above-average test scores on the SAT or ACT. If a student falls below the recommended test score or grade point average, the student could still be admitted as part of our Program for Academic Support and Success (PASS).

• Engage – Students are given half a week off of campus, put into teams, and go on volunteer trips all over Los Angeles to serve local churches. It is not required, but it is a great opportunity to serve the local churches. Students help with anything from church services, manual labor, and anything in between! The trips are not required, but they provide a great opportunity to serve the local churches.
• Involvement at Church – Students must attend two church services a week(One Sunday service, a bible study, or a community group). Many students become leaders in college and youth groups and help serve in various ways. This helps students recognize the importance of serving the Lord by serving the church body.

As an incoming student, you have two options for choosing a roommate. If you are coming to TMU and you know someone who is already a student or who will be starting the same semester as you, there is a possibility that they could be your roommate! After you have finished applying, been accepted, and sent in your deposit for the year, you can go on to pre-registration. On pre-registration, there is an option for requesting a roommate. We can’t make any promises, but if you and your friend put each other’s names down during pre-registration, you’ll likely be put together. And hey, lots of our students come and don’t know anyone, so your second option is random rooming. This works out great for lots of our students, and sometimes you even meet your BFF for life!
