Church Partnerships

Church Partnership Grant

For Traditional Students: $2,000 per year (1/2 disbursed each semester).

For Online & Graduate Students: 10% discount of tuition charged

Eligibility: This need-based grant is available to NEW students who, at the time of initial enrollment, are members of/actively participating in a church that financially supports Jessup University. CURRENT students may also apply IF the student was a member of/actively participating in a partner church at the time of initial enrollment; OR the church becomes a partner while the student is currently enrolled; AND that church continues to be the student’s church home. If other scholarships or grants are secured by a Traditional Student after the awarding of a Church Partnership Grant, the amount may be reduced. This grant recognizes both the church’s partnership with Jessup and the recipient’s past contribution to the church. Receiving this grant may not be tied to future participation or involvement at the church. Certificate Program Students are not eligible for this scholarship.

Over the years, Jessup University has been blessed with endowments that have been dedicated to support students who are training for local church ministry. Some of these endowments are now being utilized to underwrite Pastors in Training (PIT) Scholarships. Jessup is committed to substantially lessen or eliminate debt for ministry students.

We encourage both male and female applicants, as well as both undergraduate and graduate students who are pursuing God’s call into local church ministry. Scholarships will be assigned first to new students. Residual funds may be allocated as scholarships to continuing students, based on reapplication each year.

The Center is vital to the mission of Jessup University: educating transformational leaders for the glory of God, in partnership with the Church.
