The Southern Baptists of Texas Convention provides a number of student scholarships for members of SBTC churches who attend one of the SBTC’s cooperating colleges: Criswell College, Jacksonville College, and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary/Texas Baptist College.
Students of Criswell College (Dallas, TX), Jacksonville College (Jacksonville, TX), and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary/Texas Baptist College (Fort Worth, TX) who are members of churches that are affiliated with the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention are eligible to apply for SBTC scholarships.
This is for applicants that have never received an SBTC scholarship.
***The SBTC requires 2 reference forms from first-time applicants: completed by the pastor of the church where you are a member and a personal reference. Reference forms must be received no later than the deadline. No exceptions will be made.***

The SBTC funds scholarships for Southwestern students through the Cooperative Program by sending 55% of undesignated gifts to the Southern Baptist Convention. Through this, the SBTC helps provide the Cooperative Program Scholarship for seminary students who are members of Southern Baptist churches. During the Spring 2024 semester, we are also pleased to offer additional scholarships to members of SBTC churches who are pursuing degrees at Texas Baptist College or Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
