In order to reach the next generation of Iowans with the gospel of Jesus Christ, raising up the next generation of church leaders must remain a high priority. Through the generous giving of Baptist Convention of Iowa churches, together we are investing in the future of the church by offering seminary tuition scholarships to students who are members of BCI churches.

Student scholarships are available to full-time seminary students who are also engaged in a ministry role at a local church. Learn more about seminary tuition scholarships at www.bciowa.org/scholarships.
