Bowman Family Establishes Endowed Scholarship
September 18, 2025

Central Baptist College is excited to announce the establishment of the Bobby and Ruth Bowman Missions Endowed Scholarship, created in honor of the Bowmans’ significant contributions to the field of missions. The Bowman family generously endowed this scholarship.
The Bobby and Ruth Bowman Missions Endowed Scholarship is designed to support students pursuing careers in missions, reflecting the Bowman family's longstanding commitment to this vital calling.
The scholarship will prioritize applicants based on their academic status and field of study: first priority will be given to Junior or Senior students preparing for the mission field, followed by Junior or Senior students majoring in Missions.
"We are thrilled to introduce this scholarship that not only honors our parents but also encourages the next generation of mission-focused leaders," said the Bowman’s children. "Their legacy in missions is a testament to their faith and dedication, and I hope this scholarship inspires students to follow in their footsteps."
Central Baptist College has a rich history of preparing students for impactful service in various fields, and the addition of the Bobby and Ruth Bowman Missions Endowed Scholarship further solidifies its commitment to nurturing future leaders in the mission community.
The Bowmans' legacy in missions has touched lives and inspired countless individuals to pursue their own paths in serving others. This scholarship is a fitting tribute to their influence and dedication.
“We are deeply grateful to the Bowman family for establishing this endowed scholarship in memory of their parents,” said CBC President Dr. Jeremy Langley. “This meaningful gift not only honors their family’s legacy, but it also ensures that countless future students will have the opportunity to pursue a Christ-centered education at Central Baptist College. Endowed scholarships like this one are a lasting investment that will continue to change lives for generations to come.”
