Scholarship Information
Generous donors have provided scholarships to assist students who want to serve in ministry. Scholarships are open to any full-time student with a primary or second major in the College of Bible and Ministry.
Scholarships are awarded on the basis of financial need, cumulative grade point average, character, service to others, professional promise and clarity of personal goals. Bible scholarships are NOT automatically renewed each year. Students must reapply each spring for awards for the following academic year.
If the student changes his/her major or leaves school, the scholarship may be voided for the entire semester in which the change occurs.
