Million Dollars Plus Released for Morling Scholarships

We are very excited to announce Morling College’s new scholarship program for 2021 and beyond.

Our new scholarship program came about from a real sense of God’s leading. I was planning a report on scholarships when the Lord clearly directed me to consider a million dollars being made available from an independent asset over three years. This program plans to release over $300,000 per year for General Scholarships and $100,000 per year from the Tinsley Bequest specifically for scholarships in evangelism, mission and church planting.  To my delight the Morling Leadership Team and Board confirmed this as God’s direction. This should mean the potential of 40-50 substantial scholarships per annum to join those recipients of our existing scholarships and fellowships.

Our Director of Ministries, Steve Bartlett, and his team, are equally excited about this program. Together we believe that this will energise our ministry together. It will have a significant and powerful impact on Morling’s vision and mission to equip and shape Christ-centred followers to impact the world. These scholarships will also provide deeper opportunities for us to partner with the Baptist Association’s bold goal of growing God’s Kingdom with 1000 healthy churches by 2050 (the ‘Gen1K goal’).  

These scholarships aim to allow students to focus on their studies and participate in College life by relieving financial pressures that come through tuition fees or living expenses. It is my hope that this revitalised scholarship program will enable women and men who have not had the opportunity to come to Morling to study, including those from culturally diverse and indigenous communities. It may also allow students to dedicate at least one year to full time study if their circumstances would normally prevent it. While we can’t guarantee a scholarship for everyone, this is a breakthrough provision to extend Kingdom ministry.

Our General Scholarships, which could be up to $10,000 year for a student, will be awarded in recognition of a student’s sense of vocation and plans for ministry as well as the financial impact a scholarship will make on their ability to study. Other scholarships are designed to equip students in specific ministry or training areas. Full time and part time students may apply.
