Baptist bible college grants support students in pursuit of careers in the ministry.
Bible colleges, typically affiliated with a particular branch of Christianity, are usually generous in distributing financial aid to graduate and undergraduate students. The churches themselves may also have scholarship funds, and Christian foundations contribute to students and colleges. Bible college grants and scholarships are almost always reserved for church members in good standing who have a record of active participation in church life, and who plan to pursue a career in the ministry or other related occupations.
