Scholarships

Bethany College established the Presidential Scholarship to give recognition to high school seniors who have excelled academically. Winners of the prestigious Presidential Scholarship will be awarded a full-tuition scholarship. Please note that this scholarship cannot be combined with other institutional awards.

The Honors Program is a curricular, co-curricular, and residential approach to education that focuses on teaching and learning at the highest and most exhilarating levels. Drawing on the abilities and flair of the best of our faculty, our diverse group of students start their first year with two Honors Seminars that replace the first-year experience and college writing requirements. Combined with special events and activities, these seminars provide the basis for the academic program and the opportunity for honors students to grow intellectually as they make their transition to college. Honors students are housed together in the Honors Residence, advised by the Honors Director as well as by a major advisor, and mentored by an Honors Residential Assistant in a unique living and learning community designed to challenge and support them.

The Bethany Merit Scholarship is available to accepted applicants who enroll at Bethany College as freshman students or as a transfer. These awards are based upon each student’s level of academic achievement and are offered through the Center for Enrollment. The Bethany Merit Scholarship is a renewable scholarship for all four years of full-time enrollment.

Some schools let students sink or swim. At Bethany, we have a different philosophy: offer a rigorous education with a built-in support network. Professors, students, administrators – we all work together to help each other succeed. We want our students to be adventurous and successful; competitive and compassionate. We work as a community, inspiring our students to learn, and to value serving others along the way.
