DTS SCHEDULE FEES

DTS Schedule Fees in 2020

 The Schedule below was applicable for the DTS we were planing in 2020 things may change with new budget.

DTS Lecture and Outreach Fees for different Country Category

The table below gives an Idea of the DTS fees and include room and board. These fees are expected from each participant depending on their Country of Origin. Contact us and discuss with us if you have some limitations so we see how to pray with you and see what is possible.
As you look at the fees keep in mind that is a live in program. Also, Saint Lucia is a major tourist destination and a Caribbean Island, make the cost of living relatively hight.

Country A $US 6,130.00 + Airfare**
Extimated outreach Airfare** Will depend on outreach location

Estimate Total DTS Cost Including Airfare

 ** The Airfare and transportation is From Saint Lucia to the outreach location and back to Saint Lucia. if the outreach location is within  the  Caribbean and/or South /Central America  each student should plan to add about USD 1,400 (EC$3,780) to the above fees for airfare/transportation this can vary depending of the time the ticket is purchase and the location. This is the minimum we recommend students to plan for. It will cover Air and Land transportation where necessary. We normally pay the ticket once  all together when all funds have  been paid by students.

If students have extra luggage they must be prepare to pay the extra cost requested by the airline company.

The basic fees indicated above is for a DTS lecture phase of 11 to 12 weeks in Saint Lucia and an Outreach of 9 to 10 weeks

DTS fees cover  room and board and transportation for ministry purpose only.

Note :  School fees DO NOT include personal items, Personal Communication, Vaccinati ( or mediate  funds ons, Laundry fees, Immigration Fees, Toiletries or health insurance. 


Considering the above, in all cases the minimum budget for your DTS including airfare to the outreach location and back to Saint Lucia should be about US$ 7,300 for country A* and                       $US 5,400 (XCD 14,580) for Country B

* only category A students pay the actual cost of the school therefore we are always looking for donors to help us provide scholarships to country C students or other financially limited students. Non designated donation to the DTS normally help cover this  funds.


Immigration and DTS Students:

Students are responsible to pay any extra fees associated to their immigration extension or statuts separately. in Saint Lucia this may be up to US$80 per month after the entry visa expiration.

Eastern Caribbean exchange for the fees are $US1 =  XCD2.70

- In budgeting Participants should expect some variation mainly due to the outreach airfare if the final field assignment (outreach) location is further away from the region (caribbean or south central America), in such case each participant to the field assignment may have to raise additional finances to cover the extra airfare and/or additional expenses associated with the particular location. But if we stay within the indicated region there shouldn't be significant change.


 Caribbean region we are willing allow students from some countries of the region to contribute a lower fees independently or their Country Category (A, B or C). if you are from: Saint Lucia, Grenada, Barbados, Antigua & Barbuda, Trinidad & Tabago, Jamaica or any other nation but cannot afford the fees for your country category as indicated above, let us know as you apply; we will pray with you to find the right solution.

Each DTS student is expected to complete the two phase ( Lecture+ outreach) so you must plan consequently.
