TBC now offering scholarship match for MK students
Missionary families face unique challenges when it comes time to make college plans – whether it be for adults who are going back to finish a degree or earn a new one, or for a missionary kid (MK) who is venturing into the world of college for the first time. Here at TBC, we do what we can to make that transition less stressful. One way we are helping to improve that “re-entry” experience is by offering a scholarship match for missionary families.
Recent MK grad, Nancy Patton, shares why she feels TBC was the best choice for her.
TBC believes in the importance of making college accessible to everyone, and it is our pleasure to partner with Converge Worldwide to help make college accessible for students coming from foreign fields.
Converge Worldwide currently offers the Converge ZAP Educational Endowment Fund Award to missionary families actively serving on the field. Trinity Baptist College now offers a dollar-for-dollar match in Institutional Aid to any student enrolled in TBC who is a recipient of the Converge ZAP Educational Endowment Fund Award.
TBC MATCH DETAILS
A recipient of the Converge ZAP Educational Endowment Fund Award receives a dollar-for-dollar match in TBC institutional aid, capped at the student’s tuition expense. The award continues each academic year while the student receives the Converge organization award.
Converge Worldwide will contact TBC to certify recipient student enrollment. The TBC match is awarded at the time TBC certifies enrollment. Please contact your TBC representative for more information or email admissions@tbc.org.
