On average, Central Baptist College freshmen receive nearly $10,000 toward the cost of tuition, fees, and room and board, according to the college.

“We work hard to keep the cost of attending Central Baptist College affordable so that as many students as possible can experience the special Christ-centered college environment we offer,” President Terry Kimbrow said in a news release.

Ryan Johnson, vice president for enrollment management, said he encourages prospective students and their families to visit cbc.edu/cost for more information about the school’s costs before scholarships are applied.

“CBC is $13,000 less than the average to attend a fouryear private institution in the state of Arkansas and nearly $25,000 less than the average to attend a four-year private institution in the United States,” Johnson said.
