  • A. Wilmette Institute's Tuition Support Policy

    The fee for a standard 6 to 9-week course is $75.00 for Individuals, with discounts for seniors (65+), full-time students, and Baha'i pioneers or volunteer staff. The Wilmette Institute is independent of the Baha'i Fund, and must cover its expenses to keep its doors open. Tuition support funds are obtained from generous donors. The Institute asks each student to consider their expenses very carefully, and let it know how much he or she can afford. You can expect a response from the Registrar's office within 48 hours of your application.
  • If you need a full scholarship, please tell us briefly why you are unable to contribute to the cost of the course.

  • B. Installment Plan Options

  • The WIlmette Institute can arrange a series of partial payments to your credit card. It is easy for us to charge the credit card already on file; we just click on “card ending in xxxx” (all we can see is the last 4 digits), enter the amount, and click the charge button. Please choose from the following options.

  • B2. Design your own installment plan

    Use the fields below to tell us how much you can pay. Up to four installments are acceptable, over a four-month period. The minimum payment per installment is $10.00. Set the date of the first installment, and subsequent installments will be scheduled for the same date each month.
  • Minimum is $10.00. You must pay this before you can start the course.

  • Remember to Factor in Discounts

    Please check that your total installments add up to the amount you will owe for the course, taking into account the following discounts: seniors (65+) OR full-time students OR Baha'i pioneers: 20% off (not cumulative). Early registration (usually 4 weeks before the start of the course): 10% off, in addition to the above discount. If you are not sure how much the course will cost, contact the Registrar.

  • C. Identify your course

    Please choose the course for which you are applying for tuition support from the drop-down boxes below. You must apply using a fresh form for each course you are taking. The deadline for tuition support applications is the first day of the course (date displayed in brackets). In order to maintain the quality of its courses, the Wilmette Institute reserves the right to restrict tuition support to one course per person per term.
  • Note: Some courses in this Department, including all 24/7/365 courses, are shorter and cost less than the standard $75. courses. You may wish to double check the fees for your course, and adjust your application accordingly.
