At GCA, you’re given the opportunity to participate in an on-campus job. We believe that learning to work, being punctual, and faithfully performing assigned duties is as much a part of preparing you for your future as is academics. Just like with a class, you receive a grade for your job, and earnings are used to offset tuition costs. The estimated earnings range between $1,600–$2,000 for the school year.

PFE (Partnering for Eternity)
PFE is a scholarship program in which participating students pair up with older individuals in their communities, which are called “mentors,” in an effort to encourage multi-generational relationships. Because of the community aspect, this program is only available for village students. During weekly visits, students and their mentors work on a hobby together, sit and chat, do yardwork, cook, clean, or engage in other activities at the mentor's home. In return for successfully completing all of their PFE visits and requirements, each student receives $800 per semester ($1,600 per year) as a scholarship towards their tuition at GCA.
