Scholarships

Scholarships are awarded to reward academic excellence and to assist students involved in leadership and ministry.

Students must be enrolled in full-time studies to be eligible.

Academic Entrance Scholarship

Academic Entrance Scholarships (AES) are awarded to incoming students based on High School grades.

How is your GPA calculated?
Your AES amount is based on your high school academic achievements. Your high school average will be calculated on the basis of your top five approved Grade 12 courses. At least three of the five must be academic courses, one of which must be an English course. (Pass/fail courses do not qualify, ie. Physical Education.)

If you have not completed grade 12, your AES will be calculated based on your grade 11 grades. If your grade 12 grades are higher than your grade 11 grades, your AES will be adjusted upwards. Your AES will not be adjusted downwards if your grade 12 grades are lower.

Am I Eligible?
You are eligible to receive an AES if:

  • You are entering your first year at Steinbach Bible College;
  • You are not transferring in more than 18 credit hours from another higher education institution;
  • You have graduated with a High School diploma (or equivalent, ie. GED)  within the past five years, from a public or independent incorporated school;
  • You have at least three academic courses in grade 12 with one being academic English;

Recipients must maintain full-time student status (12 or more credit hours of SBC courses per semester).
Recipients must maintain a 3.0 GPA (Grade Point Average) in their first semester to be eligible to receive AES funding in their second semester of studies.
Disbursement of Funds
Funds will be split equally between semesters of full-time study in your first year of studies
Application Process
  • Submit your Steinbach Bible College student application by July 1 (fall semester) and December 1 (winter semester).
  • No scholarship application is necessary to receive this AES funding.
  • In August after we have received your High School transcript, we will send you a finalized amount of the AES you will be receiving.
Limitations
  • Pursuit students (4-months) are not eligible for AES funding.
  • Pursuit XL Certificate students (8 months) do still qualify for AES funding for the second semester at 1/2 the amount.
  • Terms and conditions of the AES program are subject to change.
