  • YWAM Belfast Financial Policy

    YWAM Belfast Financial Policy

  • INTRODUCTION
    This page is designed to explain the financial costs of attending this school and how that money is spent. It also gives a breakdown of when fees become payable.

    WHAT THE FEES COVER
    The DTS fees cover the cost of tuition, board and lodging during the lecture and outreach phase. They also cover:

    • Student Registration with the University of the Nations
    • Speaker expenses (travel and a small honorarium)
    • Internal rental costs for the use of base accommodation and teaching rooms
    • Travel costs for midweek and mid-term outreaches
    • Contribution towards the running of the training office
    • Contribution towards the cost of one pastoral visit per outreach location

    No DTS staff member receives any income from the school.

    APPROXIMATE OVERALL COSTS – (as of Jan. 2021) Applicable for schools 6 months or less.  If the school/course is longer than 6 month, please confirm with your school location what the additional costs may be. Fees may vary.

    Application fee:  £30
    Lecture Phase:   £2350
    Outreach Phase: £1700 (NOT including the airfare)

    Total    : approx. £4080 (does not include any airfare or UK Visa costs)

    Participation in the optional (but highly encouraged!) YWAM Belfast Internship will be an additional cost.  Please contact us about the cost for this 6 month program that begins at the end of DTS program.

    In addition to the above you should allow some money for leisure, personal needs, toiletries, etc. Travel insurance and cost of visa to the U.K. may be applicable, and will be an additional expense.

    SUMMARY - DUE DATES FOR PAYMENT
    Application fee - £30 non-refundable deposit due with application (Covers the cost of processing your application.)
    Registration fee - £200 non-refundable room deposit due when acceptance letter is received. (This confirms your acceptance of our offer and reserves your room.) This amount counts towards Lecture Phase fee balance.
    Balance of lecture phase fee - Due on arrival.
    Outreach fees – We appreciate if the outreach fee is paid by week 8, though it is due in full before the commencement of outreach. YWAM will aid in the selection of flights for outreach. Payment for transport to the outreach location (such as flights) and visa fees will be in addition to the outreach fee, and will be payable upon booking – typically around week 5.

    COSTS FOR CHILDREN
    Fees for children are based mainly on food costs but also include a nominal amount for utilities.

    Age Cost
    0-1 Free
    1-5 20%
    6-12 40%
    13+ 60%

    SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES
    Youth With A Mission is a faith mission. Therefore we are open to prayerfully considering applications from those who through unemployment or other circumstances are lacking the total finances. If, together with your church, we felt it right that you are to attend the DTS we would work out a financial scheme on an individual basis. Without such an arrangement in place before the school starts we are unable to accommodate students who do not have their fees in full. Please do not hesitate to contact us if this applies to you.

    PAYMENT
    IMPORTANT - ALL FEES ARE QUOTED IN POUNDS STERLING ONLY. When paying electronically, all overseas applicants may pay the equivalent in their local currency, but will be liable for bank/transfer fees incurred.  We strongly encourage payment online through PayPal or bank transfer as it is quick, safe and efficient (the applicant is responsible to cover any fees charged by the service provider).

Where God guides, He will also provide.

  • VISA NATIONAL SUPPLEMENT/UK IMMIGRATION:
    We will advise you on any course of action you should take to obtain a visa only after acceptance. Help or sponsorship will only be given by YWAM to accepted students who have successfully completed the application process.

    CONFIDENTIAL REFERENCES & MEDICAL REFERENCES:
    All the references are confidential, so they should arrive separately from the main application.
    IMPORTANT: The Medical and Doctor reference must arrive in a separate envelope somehow marked that it contains those specific Reports (as only the medical officer on our end is allowed to see it). The first part, the medical report, is completed by you, and the second part is completed by your doctor, who should also receive the first part to mail in with the second.

    APPLICATION DUE DATE & PROCESSING PROCEDURE:
    Applications are usually due at the latest, 4 weeks before the school starts, although enrollment may close as capacity is reached. Only completed applications (i.e. with references and fee paid) are reviewed, and applications are usually processed in order of completion (first come, first served). Applications may not be reviewed immediately, as the appropriate staff may have other responsibilities (meaning they’re occasionally out of town or on outreach, etc., sometimes for extended periods).

    CRIMINAL HISTORY CHECK & CHILD PROTECTION:
    YWAM Ireland requires all of its volunteers, students and staff to provide a satisfactory criminal history check due to our Child Protection policy. Towards the end of the application process the applicant will be provided with a document suggesting how to do this. You may request a copy of our Child Protection policy at any time to review.

  • Thank you for applying for the DTS!  You will receive a confirmation email, and we will be in touch in the next two weeks.  If you have any further questions, you can reach us by email: dts@ywambelfast.com
