Kairos Degree-Seeking Students
Students enrolled in the Kairos program will pay $500 per month. This cost applies as long as they are in the Kairos program, including over the summer. Those enrolled in Zollikon’s Kairos program will not pay this $500 in addition to the price of any Zollikon-specific courses they may take.. However, there is no guarantee that they will not incur other costs for specific training, seminars, etc. that they may complete while in the Kairos program.
For example, a student enrolled in Zollikon’s Kairos program will not pay for their Historical Theology I class or their Old Testament History class during their semester. However, they may be required to pay for an Anabaptist Financial seminar that they attend as part of their Business Law course.
A student living at the dorms while completing their Kairos degree can expect to pay approximately $5000 per semester, while also expecting to pay $500 per month over the summer months while still enrolled in Zollikon’s Kairos program.
Non-Residential Kairos Student Completing Independent Projects
If a student is not currently enrolled in Zollikon’s courses, they will be paying us $500/month in order to complete their degree. They will work with our academic mentors in order to complete their degrees. As long as they are enrolled in Kairos with us, they will pay $500 per month. The total cost that a student pays is dependent upon the length of time that it takes them to complete the program.
Financial Assistance
Currently, Zollikon does not have a formal scholarship system in place. However, financial aid may be available depending on a student’s circumstances. In order to request financial aid, students must fill out our “Student Gift Application.” Once this is complete, the Director of Admissions will be in communication with students in regards to their financial abilities.
