For decades, we have helped Mississippi Baptists invest in the future of Kingdom leaders.

One way we do this is through scholarships that support college and seminary students who are pursuing their education in order to be equipped for ministry.

All applicants must read the MBF Scholarship Policy before applying.

All applicants must submit a Thank You Letter prior to receiving funds.

More About Scholarships Through The Foundation

The Mississippi Baptist Foundation has a limited number of accounts that specify they be used for scholarships. In most cases the individual accounts dictate the institution, the student major, and the size of the scholarship. These scholarships are, for the most part, limited to the three Mississippi Baptist Colleges: Blue Mountain College, Mississippi College, and William Carey University. The Foundation also has a limited number of scholarships for Mississippians attending any of the six Southern Baptist seminaries: New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Gateway Seminary, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, and Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

The scholarship monies held by the Foundation are endowments established years ago by faithful Christian stewards who had a desire to help young people gain a college or seminary education. Please help further the cause of Christ by investing in the lives of young people through an endowed scholarship established through the Mississippi Baptist Foundation.

Scholarship applications are available each year beginning January 1 and will be accepted through April 30 for the next academic school year.
