Financial Information

 ACA/ETS is able to subsidize students' education because of support from churches and individuals who share our vision. The amounts charged to the students are usually around half the cost incurred by ACA. However, rising costs require that we follow strict guidelines with regard to financial matters. Charges and fees are subject to change by action of the ACA Board annually. Any change in fee structures will be communicated in the letter accompanying this prospectus.
