Financial Aid / Scholarships

FINANCIAL AID

The Office of Financial Aid is responsible for administering financial aid, regardless of source, for all students.  The office administers or coordinates federal, state and institutional aid as well as private scholarships.  Maple Springs Baptist Bible College & Seminary participates in the U.S. Department of Education's Title IV Student Aid Programs.  For more information contact the Director of Financial Aid.

WORK-AID 

A limited number of work aid positions are available to eligible students.  A 25% tuition rebate will be awarded to students who are approved by either the Executive Vice President or the Vice President for Finance and Administration and who work at the Institution for at least three (3) hours per week.  Work aid students must be approved one semester prior to awarding of the tuition rebate and must have also worked one semester prior to the awarding of the tuition rebate.  Preference is given to qualified students from Maple Springs Baptist Church.  Either the Executive Vice President or designee must approve positions.

MAPLE SPRINGS BAPTIST CHURCH SCHOLARSHIP

A 50% per semester tuition rebate will be awarded to eligible Maple Springs Baptist Church members who are currently enrolled.  The church establishes the criteria for eligibility.  The Chair of the Finance Committee of Maple Springs Baptist Church administers this program.

 TO FRIENDS AND CHURCHES 

Friends who desire to strengthen the financial structure of  MSBBC&S by gifts will find, doubtless, no better way to perpetuate one's life in the Gospel ministry than to set up a memorial fund.  Here are opportunities for one's Christian service to continue even after death.  We offer the following suggestions for the prayerful consideration of our interested friends:

A PROFESSORIAL ENDOWMENT whereby a fund would be established memorializing a name chosen by the donor, the interest of which would provide for professors' salaries.

A LIBRARY ENDOWMENT for the purchase of additional books for the MSBBC&S library.

A STUDENT AID ENDOWMENT for the support of worthy students who need financial assistance while attending the College.

A CHAPEL ENDOWMENT for the purchase of a chapel and equipment for the Maple Springs Baptist Bible College and Seminary.

A SCHOLARSHIP ENDOWMENT to provide a free course of study to outstanding students.
