Revenue model

1. Tuition and Fees: JETS charges tuition per credit hour (for Arabs) and per course (for non-Arabs), with the D.Min. dissertation fee and doctoral dissertation fee as separate line items. Tuition rates differ by program level (bachelor's, master's, doctorate) and student nationality. A 50% discount is available for missionaries.
2. Donations and Financial Aid: JETS relies on donor contributions to subsidize tuition costs, keeping student fees significantly below actual educational costs. The Development department raises funds to cover financial aid for economically disadvantaged students and to support the institution's general operations.
