Scholarships for Ministry Majors

If you're a ministry major, there's good news: There are a multitude of scholarship opportunities available to help you meet your educational goals. Often, scholarships for ministry majors are offered by faith-based organizations, nonprofit foundations and individual academic institutions. To be eligible, students generally must be pursuing some sort of theology study – often with the ultimate goal of becoming a minister or pastor – and be able to demonstrate commitment to the Christian faith. Often a record of church involvement and community service is beneficial. Financial need and academic performance also may be considered. The application process may include submitting official transcripts, as well as letters of recommendation from religious officials and a personal essay. Ready to find the right ministry scholarship?
