Ministry Guidance Program
The Ministry Guidance Program coordinates financial assistance available to qualifying Dallas Baptist University (DBU) Ministry Students pursuing a degree in preparation for a career in vocational or bi-vocational ministry. This is an annual application process requiring students to complete the online application each academic year. DBU seeks to support students pursuing ministry with financial assistance through the Baptist General Convention of Texas (BGCT) Ministry Scholarship and the DBU Ministerial Scholarship. The deadline to submit a completed application for ministerial financial assistance is one month after the first day of classes for that semester.
Ministry Scholarship
Funding is available to qualifying students in the following ways:
(BGCT) Ministry Scholarship provided by Texas Baptists (Baptist General Convention of Texas - BGCT) is available to qualifying students who are members of Baptist churches. After the first year, the BGCT Ministry Scholarship is only for students who are active in a church affiliated with Texas Baptists.
DBU Ministerial Scholarship provided by Dallas Baptist University is available to qualifying students who are affiliated with a Christian church (that holds Jesus as Lord and Savior, and who holds solely the Old Testament and the New Testament as Sacred Scripture). The DBU Ministerial Scholarship is automatically awarded to students receiving the BGCT Ministry Scholarship.
