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.
