1. Important considerations before making application
- English proficiency - All of our instruction is in English. If English is not your first language, you will need to take an English Oral Proficiency Exam and we will need the scores.
- Finances - The estimated cost (in U. S. Funds) for your school fees for the period of two years is approximately $15,000.00 (singles) and $22,000.00 (married), not including travel.
- Scholarships – NTBI has no scholarships available for new students.
- Employment – International students normally do not work on-campus or off-campus
- Married students - Due to the nature of our training program, we require married couples to live together while enrolled and normally also with their minor children.
2. During the application process
- Proof of English proficiency – We normally require an oral proficiency interview rather than other forms of testing. For information please contact the admissions office or view the following website: http://www.languagetesting.com/acad_opi.htm
- Proof of funds - This can be a financial statement bearing your name, or in the form of a letter written on letterhead by your financial institution documenting that the funds are available in your account. If a portion of your funds will come from supporting friends or churches, we will need financial documentation from those individuals.
3. Once you are accepted for enrollment
- I-20 Immigration form – We will send this form to you only after the entire application has been completed and proof of funds has been received.
- I-901 SEVIS fee – (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System) For more information regarding this $200.00 fee please see: http://www.ice.gov/sevis/i901/index.htm
- F-1 student visa – Canadians can obtain their student visa as they enter the U.S. All other international students must make an appointment at their US Embassy for a student visa interview. You will be required to have your I-20, I-901 payment receipt, valid passport, financial documentation, as well as evidence of ties to your home country, and a plan to return there when studies are completed.
