Scholarship Programs

Institutional Scholarships
Approximately 90% of all students at Georgia Baptist colleges receive some form of financial aid. The colleges offer significant scholarships, grants, and loans including: academic, need-based, athletic, music, Pell grant, state Hope and equalization grants, loans and work-study programs and Baptist Convention funds. In many instances, financial aid reduces cost to students to no more than that of a state university. Contact colleges individually for specific information.

Baptist Student Achievement Awards
The Education Commission annually awards 30 scholarships in the amount of $4000.00 each to outstanding students who are members of churches affiliated with the Georgia Baptist Convention. Recipients must attend one of the three Georgia Baptist colleges. Students must be nominated by a church minister by November 1 of their senior years in high school. Call 800.746.4422 X240 or, in the Atlanta area, 770.936.5240 for information. Pastors wishing to nominate deserving students may do so by using our on-line form, which may be accessed between July 1 and November 1 each year.

Ministerial Education
The Education Commission, along with the individual institutions, provides significant scholarship funds for ministerial students. Contact the individual colleges for information.
