Baugh Scholarship Program
The Baugh Scholarship Program awards qualified students up to full-tuition scholarships that also cover required fees and, in some cases, provides a small living stipend.
Made possible through the generous support of the Eula Mae and John Baugh Foundation, the Baugh Scholarship program provides scholarships across all degree programs for qualified students who self-identify as Baptist, are committed to Baptist principles, and seek to shape Baptist life moving forward.
The Baptist House of Studies values diversity, equity, and inclusion and welcomes applicants of all races, ages, national origins, veteran status, sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions.
