The Beeson Scholar Program is for Doctor of Ministry students. These students must be seminary graduates with a Master of Divinity, who have at least three years of experience in some form of parish ministry and have an obvious potential for leadership in the church and community. Potential scholars must have demonstrated pulpit ability and a profound love for Christ and the church.

• 100% coverage of tuition and fees
• Reimbursement of course-related travel
• Cross-cultural immersion experiences
• Housing
• Food stipend
