Finances and Scholarship

Students are billed for room and board on a per-semester basis. Absences from the dorm or from meals for portions of the semester do not affect the charge for rooming and boarding privileges. Rooming charges entitle the student to a bed and furnishings, but not to a private room. There is a non-refundable room deposit of $50, payable each summer for the following school year.

Tuition and Fees 2008-2009 (per semester charge):

Scholarship

Ouachita Hills College is a nonprofit institution sponsored and operated by Ouachita Ministries, Inc. As a church-related institution, OHC supports its operations strictly through tuition income, contributions, and scholarships. OHC does not participate in any state or federal educational assistance programs or veterans assistance programs.

Canvassing Scholarship Program

Students participating in the Cavassing Scholarship Program will participate in OHC’s canvassing programs for 10-weeks per year. In return their canvassing scholarships from the programs operated during the summer and winter breaks will be matched dollar for dollar up to $1,000 per semester, provided payment of those earnings is made directly to OHC. Students will receive money for living expenses, tithe, and offerings from the scholarship funds paid to OHC. The 10 weeks of canvassing in OHC’s programs do not otherwise affect the account of the student. No scholarship is received from these ten weeks except the matching funds mentioned above.

Other Matching Scholarships

For non-literature evangelism ministries, OHC will match 25% of approved program scholarships (maximum of $500 in matching funds). This will be applied over two semesters and on the conditions that the student 1) releases the earnings being matched to OHC and 2) takes part in the OHC canvassing program during the school year.
