The Florida Baptist Convention does not provide direct financial
scholarships or grants to Baptist ministerial students enrolled
in college or seminary.
However, the Convention does support and provide tuition assistance
for ministerial students in several of ways.
First, as a part of the annual Florida Baptist Convention Cooperative
Program budget, forty percent of the total budget is designated
to be given to the Southern Baptist Convention Cooperative Program
budget. That national budget provides that nearly 20 percent
is earmarked for the six Southern Baptist seminaries. Those
Cooperative Program support dollars provided to the seminaries
means that every student benefits from reduced tuition costs
when compared with other institutions of higher learning providing
graduate and post-graduate theological education.
Secondly, the Florida Baptist Convention Cooperative Program
budget annually provides several thousands of dollars in ministerial
tuition assistance to The Baptist College of Florida and $20,000
annually to Palm Beach Atlantic University. These tuition assistance
funds are administered by the respective institution, which
has its own application and distribution process.
