Many students called to serve God lack finances for training. Scholarships provide financial assistance to those in need. Work-aid scholarships reduce annual fees based on time worked and merit scholarships require a B+ grade average and students are eligible after successful completion of one academic year. Mission scholarships are for students willing to work for GGM after graduation. Scholarships are granted for one year and renewed based on satisfactory performance in all areas.
The B.Th. program is ideal for students who have passed SSC examinations (i.e. 10th pass) and have been engaged in two years of ministry or have completed two years of other ministerial training such as certificate or diploma programs. The duration of the program is 3 years.
The B.D. program is for students seeking to attain either an undergraduate or post-graduate degree in theological studies. The duration of the program is 4 years for students with a UG degree and 5 years for +2 pass applicants.
The C.Th. program is intended for students interested in gaining a basic knowledge of the Bible and Theology but lacking the necessary English language skills to immediately enroll in University affiliated degree programs. The duration of this program is 1 year and can be used as a stepping stone to the B.Th. or B.D. programs.
The certificate in Christian Ministry is intended for laypersons interested in attaining basic ministerial training for Church-based ministries. The duration of this program is 4 months (January-April).
