We also hold chapel services three times a week so all our students can foster a close-knit campus community and feel supported in their spiritual growth. Each chapel is led by Moody faculty, our president, and renowned Christian speakers.

Tuition grant: The cost of your full-time, in-residence, undergraduate education at Moody’s Chicago campus is substantially discounted due to a donor grant! You’re only responsible for housing, food, textbooks, and fees. You can apply for financial aid from grants, federal loans, scholarships, and veterans’ benefits.
