We do not want finances to hinder anyone from going all in on missions! While some students may be able to pay out of pocket, we also recommend fundraising to cover your DTS costs. Thousands of YWAM students have successfully fundraised for their DTS over the years, and we have full faith that if God is calling you to this, He will provide a way!

The lecture phase costs $1700 which includes tuition, student fees, and all class materials. Outreach phase is $3800, covering international housing, food, and transportation costs.

That’s ok! Our team has years of experience fundraising for missions and we will be available to walk with you and coach you in some fundraising techniques! Once your application is submitted, we will be in touch to help assess what is the best way forward for you financially.

Our weekly schedule will include the following:
- Daily lectures
- Prayer room
- Weekly Local Evangelism
- Weekly 1-on-1 discipleship
- Small groups
- Leadership workshops
- Electives
- Weekly Sunday Church Gathering

DTS has a very FULL schedule; therefore, we highly recommend turning down even any remote or part time work and leaving your schedule open to be fully present. We believe that this school is a short and special time to consecrate unto the Lord. We've seen that the more available one is during DTS, the more they are able to get out of the experience.

Currently, housing during the lecture phase and the break before outreach is not provided, but we are actively working on finding a solution to support out of town students.

Transportation from your living quarters to class everyday is not included. We recommend that you bring a vehicle so you can transport yourself freely!

Food will be included during the outreach phase, however, it will not be included for the lecture phase. Please be sure to budget additional $$ for that.

At this time we are not able to accommodate children in class due to the formal nature of the DTS learning environment.
