Specific Requirements

The scholarship program only matches funds from Christian churches that hold Jesus Christ to be Lord and Savior. Gifts from denominations (e.g. Baptist General Convention of Texas, United Methodist Conference, etc.) or para-church organizations (e.g. Campus Crusade for Christ, BSM, focus on the Family, etc.) are not included in this matching gift program. This is a matching scholarship program for individual churches only. The recommended student must be an active member or student member in the church providing the scholarship.

Information for Athletes

Although D1 athletes who receive an athletic scholarship may be eligible to receive church scholarships, DBU cannot provide church matching funds to these student-athletes per NCAA regulations. D1 athletes not receiving an athletic scholarship and all D2 athletes are eligible for the Church and DBU Church Matching Scholarship.

Maintaining this Scholarship

• Students must be enrolled full-time in an on-campus program.
• Students must meet all components of Satisfactory Academic Progress.
