Scholarships have been established to provide a financial resource to cover the costs of tuition, fees, and textbooks for worthy students of Tabernacle Baptist College, who have a financial need or deserve financial assistance.  Scholarships are considered on a case-by-case basis.

 

Contributions from individuals, groups, churches, organizations, businesses, or other entities fund these scholarships.

 

A Scholarship Approval Committee approves each scholarship.

 

If a scholarship is awarded, funds will be transferred from the scholarship fund to the student’s account.  Funds are never given directly to the students.  Any amount on a student’s account not covered by the scholarship is the student’s responsibility to pay.  Any unused portion of a scholarship will be returned to the scholarship fund.

 

The following scholarships are available.

 

Harold B. Sightler Scholarship

Melvin Aiken Scholarship

Pierre Allston Scholarship

Russell Rice Scholarship

Verdie Edwards Scholarship

 

Scholarships are awarded for outstanding academic achievement, Christian character, and sincere commitment to serving the Lord.  The Melvin Aiken Scholarship is for Elementary Education majors.
