STATEMENT OF CONDITIONS

People satisfying either of the two IMB categories, ACTIVE MISSIONARIES ON STATESIDE ASSIGNMENT or MISSIONARY CANDIDATES who have returned from the field and are currently in the application process for active appointment with the IMB, may qualify to occupy Missionary Housing at a reduced rent rate by the Seminary provided they will be enrolled in the Seminary for a minimum of eight semester hours.  However, the cost for utilities and phone service will be borne by the occupant.  Reduced rent rate will be based on need and determined by subsequent waiver form that will be sent to applicants.  Assignments will be based on availability.
