Endowment Opportunities
Several endowment opportunities are available for helping to establish the college. Critical to the accreditation process and to the ability for the institution to continue growing, the following endowment options will ensure that NEBC is financially firm.
There are multiple students who would be unable to attend NEBC without the opportunity provided by our work study program. The work study endowment would allow NEBC to provide qualifying students with an education that will help them to change the spiritual landscape of the Northeast. Upon graduation, these students will be able to immediately enter their field or ministry without the burden of student loan debt.
