Pensacola Christian College

A Beka Foundation Scholarships

The scholarships listed below are made available by A Beka Foundation, Inc. To make application for any scholarship, please write to the Scholarship Committee and request a scholarship application. Students who qualify may receive only one of the scholarships.

Scholarship applicants must be residence hall first-time freshmen. The student must declare a four-year major and sign the scholarship application’s Statement of Intent to complete all four consecutive years of training at Pensacola Christian College. To be considered for a scholarship, the student must submit the scholarship application before arrival on campus. Scholarship applications received by the College by March 1 are given first consideration.

All scholarship applications for the fall semester must be postmarked by August 1; applications for the spring semester, by December 15. When scholarships are awarded, the Scholarship Committee will officially notify each recipient in writing. All scholarship applications will be acknowledged within 30 days.

Students must be in good standing and maintain at least a “C” average at Pensacola Christian College; that is, a 2.00 grade point average each year (not cumulative) in order to receive the benefits of the scholarship. Students that forfeit the scholarship because of grade point average will forfeit the benefit for future years. Should a student withdraw from the College before completion of the school year to which the scholarship is applied, or if a student changes from residence hall to town student status, the full amount of the scholarship for that year and future years is forfeited. Scholarships are credited to the student’s tuition according to the type of scholarship.

A Beka Foundation reserves the right to make changes to the scholarship programs at its discretion.
