Conditions for financial support for SDA Church members and their children

To receive financial support from a church organization for studying in a bachelor’s degree program (Theology, Teacher Education), you must complete the following steps:

Characteristics of the local community

Tell the pastor of your SDA congregation about your desire to study at Zaoksky University and ask for a reference from the local congregation. The reference is written in free form and must contain information that the church does not object to your studies.

Direction of the church organization

Then you need to contact the CRO (centralized religious organization) to which your community belongs — this can be a conference, mission or union. If the CRO is ready to support you financially with the prospect of subsequent employment, it will issue you a referral to study at ZAU with a guarantee of payment of 25% of the cost of tuition, accommodation and food.

Agreement with Zaoksky University

Finally, you need to come to Zaoksky University and sign a contract for targeted training. If you have a referral from the CRO, you receive a 100% discount and undertake to work for 4 years after graduation as assigned by the sponsoring organization. If you do not have a referral, you receive a 75% discount and undertake to work for 3 years after graduation as assigned by ZAU. Also, when receiving financial support, you agree to participate in the university’s volunteer activities for 10 hours a week during your studies.
