Looking for college scholarships for Baptists

I heard there might be some college scholarships for Baptist students. As a Baptist myself, I’d love to know more about these and where to find applications or criteria.

Absolutely, there are numerous scholarships specifically for Baptist students. Here are a handful you might be interested in:

1. National Baptist Convention of America Scholarships: This organization offers an array of scholarships dedicated to students of the Baptist faith. They sometimes require membership so you might want to check their criteria for further details.

2. American Baptist Churches USA Scholarship: This one offers up to six scholarships every year for Baptist students who have a minimum GPA of 2.75. The scholarship is geared towards students enlisted in an American Baptist Churches USA-affiliated seminary.

3. International Missions Board Student Scholarships: Primarily for undergraduate students preparing for missionary work, these scholarships can offer substantial support. They prioritize students who have already done significant work or have an established relationship with the International Missions Board.

Additionally, some universities and colleges affiliated with the Baptist faith offer their own scholarships which you may want to look into.

Remember, search platforms like Fastweb, Appily, and Sallie Mae's Scholarship Search can also be helpful in looking for faith-based scholarships like these. These platforms allow you to narrow your search criteria to match your specific denominational background.

Lastly, it's worth noting that local churches may often provide scholarships or financial assistance to students planning to attend college. It may be worth reaching out to your own church to find out if they have these kinds of programs. If not, they may be aware of other local or regional offerings.

Good luck with your scholarship search!
