Applications

Program & Non-program Studies

Here are the steps involved in the application process.

1. Request application forms from FB Admissions Department by writing to Faith Builders Educational Programs, ATTN: Admissions, PO Box 127, Guys Mills, PA 16327, or call 814-789-4518. You may e-mail your request to admissions (at) fbep.org, fax it to 814-789-3396, or download the application form here (PDF).
2. Complete the application form. Answer all questions that apply to you.
3. Distribute the three reference forms to the appropriate people with a stamped envelope addressed directly to FBEP. The person completing the reference form should mail the completed form to our admissions office. Do not use family members as references. For example, if your pastor is related to you, please use another church official. If you have recently been in college, voluntary service or other ministry, ask a representative of that organization to complete a reference.
4. Mail the completed packet to FBEP.
5. Have your official high school transcripts sent to FBEP by the school. You should also have records sent from any school attended after high school. All academic records must be sent directly from the academic institution to be official.
6. Have your SAT (code number 3711) or ACT (code number 3571) scores sent to FBEP. These scores are not necessary if you have 30 semester hours of transferable college credit with a GPA of 2.0 or greater, are over 24 years of age, or are an international student. We may also waive this requirement if you have studied previously at FB’s Summer or Winter Terms.

We will evaluate the application and notify the applicant of his/her status. Unless we require additional input on an application, applicants will receive a letter of acceptance or denial within two weeks following their application review. FBEP does have a limit on the number of students who will be accepted. Early applications have the best chance of acceptance. Admissions decisions are based on a number of factors. If the available positions are filled on any of the application periods, additional applications will be considered for that term on a waiting-list basis.

Faith Builders reserves the right to refuse admission or readmission to any prospective or returning student. Any applicant who intentionally withholds pertinent information or who falsifies such information may be required to withdraw from FBEP. The regulations listed herein are subject to change after date of publication through established procedures. Faith Builders Educational Programs reserves the right to make necessary changes without further notice.

Short-Term Applicants

If you are interested in taking classes during the Summer or Winter Term, the application process is much simpler. There are no reference forms or academic requirements. However, we strongly encourage applicants to consider their level of academic preparation and to discuss any questions with the admissions staff. Do not let uncertainty about whether you can do the work hinder you from talking to us. Faith Builders has a number of options for helping people develop in areas of deficiency. Some potential TAP or MAP students like to take a short-term course to “test the waters” and explore whether longer-term study at Faith Builders is desirable.

Foreign Students

Faith Builders has been approved by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) as an institution that qualifies to receive foreign students. A prospective student from a country other than the United States should contact the admissions office for the forms needed to request a student visa from the USCIS. International students should begin their applications early to allow adequate time for the government’s review process.
