The Scholarship Ministry of Second Baptist Church
The Scholarship Ministry manages funds from contributions by church members, annual fundraisers, endowments, and public donations. Scholarships are available for eligible high school graduates, continuing college students, and those pursuing career development. Awards depend on funding availability and scholarship guidelines.

History of Second Baptist Church EndowedScholarships
The Scholarship Ministry of the Second Baptist Church is primarily supported by gifts, donations from members, the public, and fundraising projects. The ministry's main fundraising initiative is its annual banquet called "Celebrating Education: Encouraging Educational Excellence." At this event, we showcase students who will be pursuing their education at post-secondary institutions. We encourage personal donations to support the church's scholarship program, which is accepted at any time during the year.
