Scholarships

Are you pursuing a degree in the field of music or worship and intend to serve in a church setting?

Did you know that there is a scholarship that you can apply for and, if qualified, received funding toward your college education if you are a member of the Jacksonville Baptist Association church?

Do you have a desire to receive a higher education?

The Oates Scholarship is funded through a generous donor with a heart to help youth achieve their educational goals.

The recipient can receive up to $5,000 to assist with higher education, and more than one scholarship opportunity is available.

Florida Baptist Financial Services, in partnership with the Florida Baptist Convention, offers scholarship opportunities to ordained Florida Baptist Convention church pastors and associate pastors who are pursuing theological education to help them become better equipped for ministry & leadership. The scholarship also applies to immediate family members (spouse and children) of current pastors of Florida Baptist Convention churches who are seeking a college or seminary degree from an SBC affiliated school and intend to vocationally serve within the church.
