How does payment work?
For online undergraduate programs:
Each eligible student is required to complete both the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the Chick-fil-A Remarkable Futures Scholarship application each academic year. Once these have been completed, MBU will award any federal or state financial aid that the student is eligible to receive (for example, the Pell Grant) and Chick-fil-A will pay any remaining tuition balance, at no cost to the student. As stated above, Chick-fil-A only covers the tuition balance for those attending the fully online undergraduate offerings. If you plan to attend MBU’s main campus, you will be eligible for a significant scholarship, but it will not be fully tuition-free.
For main campus undergraduate programs:
Each eligible student is required to complete both the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the Chick-fil-A Remarkable Futures Scholarship application each academic year. Once these have been completed, MBU will award any federal or state financial aid that the student is eligible to receive (for example, the Pell Grant), and the student will receive a merit scholarship of $23,300 per year.
What costs are covered by Chick-fil-A and MBU?
For online undergraduate degrees:
The total cost of tuition for an online undergraduate degree program is covered. Students will be responsible for any textbook or course material fees and any add/drop fees. If a student is terminated or resigns from employment at Chick-fil-A, the student will be responsible for any tuition and fees for future 8-week terms.
For main campus undergraduate degrees:
The student will receive an annual merit scholarship of $23,300. This scholarship cannot be combined with any additional MBU aid offers, except for residence awards, performing arts awards and honors awards.
How does online school work?
MBU offers online, asynchronous classes designed with flexibility in mind. This means that students are not required to log into a class at a specific time or attend lectures at a scheduled time. Online courses have set start and end dates, and deadlines to submit assignments, but students can complete coursework day or night, when it is most convenient for their busy schedule. Most online classes are offered in an 8-week format, and students can begin taking classes at the start of any 8-week term!
