BBC Scholarships

Existing BBC scholarships apply only to classes taken at the main BBC campus.

At Boise Bible College, our philosophy is that an education which prepares students for Kingdom service should not be available only to those who can afford it out of their own means. Furthermore, we believe it is important to help committed students complete their educations, not just begin one. That is why students tend to receive more financial aid the longer they are with us, not less.

If you choose to study at BBC, you need to know that we award scholarships to hard-working, dedicated students who are committed to ministry. Every semester we disperse about $90,000 in scholarships to our student body based on their work both in and out of the classroom. The key to earning scholarships at BBC is to follow through on your commitment to answer God's call.

This guide is intended to give you an overview of the process of securing financial aid through all available sources to help pay for your education at BBC. If you have questions, please feel free to contact the Financial Aid Office.

In order for a student to receive BBC scholarships, the student must enroll full-time in a 2-year or 4-year degree program. The student must attain a minimum 2.25 semester GPA in order to renew any BBC scholarships unless a higher GPA is stated. Regular Christian Service reports will be filed with the student Dean. The student’s conduct on and off campus must be above reproach. No BBC scholarship will be awarded to a student on Academic Probation or Administrative Discipline regardless of their cumulative or semester GPA. Scholarships can be “stacked” but up to no more than 100% of tuition costs unless otherwise stated. Outside scholarships or federal funds will not be calculated into this 100% maximum
