HKLTS is a nonprofit organization which offers significantly lower tuition than most traditional universities and for-profit schools with similar programming. We work with all our students as close as we can to meet their particular budget. (cover up to 100% scholarship)

Registration Fee : 200 HKD
Application Fee : 100 HKD
Graduation Fee : 500 HKD
Tuition & fee
B.A. program :
42,000 HKD / Academic year (same rate for local & non-local students)
2,000 HKD per unit
M.Div & M.A. program :
1,200 HKD per credit hour X 3 credits = 3,600 HKD
36,000 HKD (for 1 academic year = 10 classes)
Certificate program (LBA) :
800 HKD per unit
6,400 HKD for the whole program

These tuition costs are prior to factoring in any grants, discounts or tuition assistance. With available grants, the payment for most students per enrollment period (1 academic year) is less than 18,000HKD. (Refer to school website Scholarship & Aid page.) To keep costs low, HKLTS offers its own financing / scholarship for students through deferred payments on the remaining balance of their tuition and fees not paid at the time of enrollment. For local pastors and church leadership in the mission field, you can apply up to 100 % scholarship.

You can contact school office at (852)5538-3501 (WhatsApp Number) or email at seminary@hklts.education for more information on school financing / scholarship.

At HKLTS, we focus on providing students / our future church leaders with the best theological education possible. Our school will make sure all our students have the best biblical tools, resources, opportunity they need to prepare themselves for their pastoral / mission field.

Of course, none of this would be possible without the generous support & sponsorship from outside school community. HKLTS mostly relies our school education on donations and contributions since many of the students can’t afford to manage their tuitions and fees.
All our faculty members including the administration team serve the school as volunteer. However, in order
for our 11 different campuses to operate school systems, school needs financial support.

To continue offering our students / future church leaders good quality theological education, we kindly ask you to make a donation for the school.
