GSSM offers two discounts. Our early-bird discount deducts $200 off tuition for first year applications completed before March 1, 2024. Additionally, a 5% discount is applied to any first or second year student who pays tuition completely before registration day on September 3, 2024.

If students elect to pay any additional initial amount on or before registration day, remaining payment plan installments are lowered to reflect the additional up-front payment.

Calendar

  • GSI On-site and Online: June 9 – 28, 2024
  • GSSM On-site and Online: September 3, 2024 – May 2, 2025

Ministry Trips

  • First Year Students

    Participating in a First Year ministry trip is a mandatory part of GSSM curriculum for certification. There are two options to fulfill it:

    • The October Brazil trip is not included in the tuition (This international trip with Dr. Randy Clark is the norm in our curriculum. This cost varies based on destination and other factors. See more specifics at Global Awakening International Ministry Trips).
    • The alternative Baltimore trip is not included in the tuition (This trip is an alternative ministry experience for those unable to participate in the Brazil trip. It’s normal cost is around $650). 
  • Second Year Students

    • Tuition includes outreach materials and administration of domestic Practicum traveling team trips. Students opting to participate in international Practicum trips are normally responsible for their own expenses, including airfare.

Payment Plans

On registration day, you will be required to have the deposit and first installment paid to your account ($908 for on-site and $708 for online students) and to sign an account agreement form which is outlined as follows. 

  • Students then have up to 6 payments to pay tuition in full. For on-site students, installments can be up to $658 per payment; for online students, installments can be up to $458 per payment. 
  • If students elect to pay any additional initial amount on or before registration day, remaining installments are lowered to reflect the additional payment.
  •  To sign up for a payment plan, students will be required to submit credit card or debit card information to have installments automatically deducted from the account. 
  • Payment plan schedule is as follows:
    • Registration Day
    • October 17
    • November 17
    • December 17
    • January 17

  • Students may pay accounts in full at any time. Late payments or nonpayments will result in a $25 fee charged to the student. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that updated, valid payment/credit card information is on file with Global Awakening, and that sufficient funds back their payment.  
  • Students who are delinquent on their payments may not be permitted to attend class until the payments are caught up.

These and all financial policies described here are subject to change at the discretion of Global Awakening

Discounts & Scholarships

Applicants cannot apply more than one discount.  If you qualify for more than one, the largest discount will be applied to your account. However, the total amount of any discount is applicable in addition to an On-site scholarship which you may be awarded. Discounts are detailed in GSSM Financial Information

Once accepted to GSSM, you will be invited to apply for the Worship team and Worship Media team. GSSM may award tuition reduction scholarships to musicians displaying exceptional leadership ability, musical proficiency, musical versatility (ability to fulfill more than one role), and–especially–teamwork. 

If your training and background includes sound, video, and/or engineering training, depending on your abilities you may be eligible for a tuition reduction scholarship by participating in this way. These tuition reduction awards are made in August prior to the beginning of school.
