Founded by D.L. Moody in 1886. Full tuition scholarship for undergraduates. One of America's most respected evangelical Bible institutes. 97/100 Christ-Centered.
Dwight L. Moody was the Billy Graham of the 19th century — the most influential American evangelist of his era. When he founded Moody Bible Institute in Chicago in 1886, his vision was to train ordinary men and women for Christian service and evangelism. That democratic vision has persisted for nearly 140 years.
Moody offers full tuition scholarships to all undergraduate students — funded by a vast donor network believing in Moody's mission. The institute has produced over 50,000 alumni serving in ministry worldwide. Moody is specifically a Bible institute focused on biblical and theological training, not a comprehensive liberal arts university. Students seeking engineering, business, or sciences alongside Christian formation should look at Wheaton College or Cedarville University. See our Christian Colleges hub.
