Mary Hill Davis Ethnic/Minority Scholarship Program Texas Baptists are concerned about higher education in a Christian atmosphere. A dramatic expression of this concern is the Mary Hill Davis Ethnic/Minority Scholarship Program which provides grants to help worthy, capable young people from ethnic/minority cultures receive a Christian education.
The scholarships are funded through the Mary Hill Davis Offering® for Texas Missions sponsored annually by Woman’s Missionary Union of Texas. The Mary Hill Davis Ethnic/Minority Scholarship Program is designed to strengthen Texas Baptist churches by providing scholarships to Baptist students from ethnic/minority backgrounds planning to attend a Texas Baptist university.
As a result of this ministry to well deserving people, Isaiah’s admonition “Learn to do well” has come to stand for more effective service in Christ’s name. Scholarship Benefits All grants are for a maximum award of $6,400.00 over a four year period. The benefits are disbursed as follows: - Full-time enrollment (11hrs or more)-$800.00 per semester or $1,600.00 per year
- Part-time enrollment (6hrs or more)-$400.00 per semester or $800.00 per year
