Scholarships

Central Baptist College

is committed to the principle that no student should be denied a Christian education because of financial limitations. Therefore, the institution makes every reasonable effort to assist students in obtaining any scholarships for which they qualify.

​

Scholarships and grants are types of funding you receive for your education that you don’t have to repay.  The difference between the two is that scholarships are usually based on academic merit or performance, while grants are usually based on financial need.

​

To find out more about the financial aid options available to you please visit the federal student aid website.  Filling out the FAFSA allows you to be considered for the Federal Pell grant, Stafford Loans, work study positions and additional scholarships.  Completion of the FAFSA is strongly encouraged.
