FINANCIAL AID » BBC Grant & Scholarships
The powerful BBC Grant is your ticket to affordability for a unique, quality, Bible-based education. If you file your FAFSA and received at least a 2.0 GPA in high school (or your previous college), you will receive between $11,000 and $23,000 over four years.
Students with less than 24 transferable credits will be evaluated based on their high school GPA. This money can be coupled with other grants, scholarships, and loans to cover your undergraduate costs.
Awards are renewable if you maintain a 2.0 cumulative GPA and remain a full-time, on-campus student.
