BJU Grants and Scholarships
Graduate students
check out these additional opportunities:
Total Aid Given Annually: over $3.5 million
Annual amount of grants/scholarships: $330 – $5,100
Eligible students must fill out a FAFSA and a Financial Aid Interview at BJU’s Virtual Financial Aid Office. At that point they will be automatically considered for these scholarships unless otherwise noted.
Though students must work at least 10 hours a week on campus to be eligible for BJU-based scholarships, they are still paid for their work. See the Student Work Program for more information.
Note: Many students can save $2,000 per year on room and board (for their first three years) through the BJU Rebate Program.
Most of the following grants and scholarships apply to undergraduates only.
