Founded in 1887, Bethel College is a 4-year liberal arts institution in North Newton, Kansas. Our student body is around 500 students, most of whom live on campus in the residence halls and participate in various activities: athletics, music, theater, visual arts, forensics, student organizations, and more.
Steps to Become a Thresher
Our admissions process is straightforward. Because our admissions counselors work individually with applicants, you can be sure your students will always have help as they apply, get accepted, and enroll at Bethel.
- Our online application is completely free and only takes 10 minutes to complete -- plus, we don’t have an application deadline! Once their application is complete, students can access their online portal, where they can keep track of their admissions checklist, upload acceptance materials, fill out student life forms, and more.
- Applicants will be notified of their acceptance decision or next steps within 2 business days of submitting their materials!
- Once accepted, prospective students can be awarded financial aid (see below).
- After accepting their financial aid award, students pay a $200 deposit to open their enrollment and fill out housing information.
- Finally, students enroll with an advising professor!
Bethel’s free partnership with Slate.org allows you to see applicants from your school so you can upload documents to help with their admission process!
Scholarship Programs at Bethel
We get it - college is expensive! That’s why Bethel is dedicated to providing the best scholarship package we can to students, so they can attend Bethel at an affordable cost. Like our admissions steps, our scholarship process is designed to be straightforward and easy to understand.
- Every student is awarded an academic scholarship based on their academic credentials
- Students can then add 1 activity scholarship to stack with their academic scholarship. Activity scholarship opportunities include athletics, music, art, theater, forensics, service leadership programs, and career pathways.
- We have many additional scholarships which may be awarded based on eligibility, availability, and need. Some of these include: church, legacy, science and more!
- Outside scholarships are encouraged! Check out Fastweb.com and Finaid.org for opportunities.
