Baptist School Scholarships
Students attending Baptist colleges and universities can obtain student aid through school-based scholarship programs. Each program has its own eligibility guidelines and can base awards on academic achievement, nationality, financial need or personal characteristics. Scholarship awards vary, depending on the school attended and program requirements, and can offer renewal funding through graduation. While certain merit-based scholarship funds extend eligibility to all students, others may provide student aid based on field of study.
