Prospective students are encouraged to talk with the financial aid office if interested in attending a Baptist school. Because of the assistance possible, many students find the cost to attend a Georgia Baptist college no higher than that of a comparable state school. Listed below are scholarships available to qualifying students by agencies offering assistance. A far more extensive list is available at each institution. The Georgia Baptist Convention provides funds through its Cooperative Program budget to assist Baptist students who plan to enter church ministry vocations.
Students apply at the financial aid offices of the institutions.
Funds are available for students considering the pastorate, missionary service, church staff ministry and for spouses of the above. Those considering bivocational ministry may also apply. This funding is a grant to students eventually serving in a ministerial vocation. It is to be repaid if the student does not enter a church-related vocation and continue in ministry for three years. The president of each college is responsible for ascertaining the needs and qualifications of each student making a request and must submit these applications to the Education Commission office.
