Since our founding, Bethlehem College and Seminary has maintained a commitment to delivering a God-centered, Bible-saturated Education in Serious Joy at a remarkably affordable tuition rate. Every residential student receives a $10,000 Serious Joy Scholarship, which enables them to graduate without the burden of student loan debt and launch immediately into life and ministry.

Bethlehem is pleased to announce The John Piper Scholarship. This initiative is named in honor of Bethlehem College and Seminary’s founding Chancellor and Professor of Biblical Exegesis, whose leadership and teaching have indelibly marked this institution.

The John Piper Scholarship provides a one-year, full-tuition scholarship for a limited number of excellent undergraduate students who are recommended by pastors and leaders of strategic partner churches and ministries. This represents 25% off one of the most remarkably affordable degrees available in American Christian higher education. 

After the first year of studies, John Piper Scholars will pay the extraordinarily low, normal tuition rate subsidized by The Serious Joy Scholarship.
