As Christians, we can be confident that God will supply what we need to fulfill His call in our life. For pastors and ministry leaders facing the burdensome costs of Seminary, however, it can be difficult to trust God with your finances.
This can be especially true for students with minority or non-traditional backgrounds, who may have less financial support to pursue their studies.
There is a pressing need to raise up diverse leaders in the Church across America who are ready to shepherd and inspire an increasingly diverse nation into greater faith and love for Jesus Christ.
This scholarship seeks to support Southern Baptist Convention Seminary students who are planning on using their education to serve their communities, and continue to build the Kingdom of God here on Earth.
Any student enrolled at a Southern Baptist Convention Seminary who plans on serving as a pastor or ministry leader may apply for this scholarship, but underrepresented minority students are preferred.
To apply, tell us how your background has impacted your faith and how it will affect how you serve in the future.
