Other Gardner-Webb Scholarships
The Luther Butler Scholarship is awarded to selected students who are members of North Carolina Baptist churches cooperating with the North Carolina Baptist State Convention (NCBSC). The funds are awarded and provided by the NCBSC. A separate online application must be completed prior to February 15, and a new application must be submitted each year.
Christian Service Organization Scholarships are awarded to those students preparing for full-time Christian vocational service. The online application must be completed as well as the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Award amounts vary depending upon the student’s demonstrated financial need as determined by the results of the FAFSA. Approval of the award comes from the Director of Church Relations.
Church Matching Scholarships are awarded to traditional undergraduate students who receive a scholarship from any Christian church or Christian-related organization. Traditional undergraduate students must submit the application in the Fall semester on or before August 31st for the entire academic year. Gardner-Webb will match a scholarship from a Christian church/Christian organization—dollar for dollar—up to the cost of tuition (including all GW aid as well as the church matching amount) if submitted on or before the deadline. If the application is submitted after the deadline, the scholarship will not be matched and will only be awarded as an outside scholarship for the exact amount of the check. The Church-Matching Scholarship will stack on top of other institutional aid up to the cost of tuition (including all GW aid as well as the church matching amount). The original application and check will be split between the fall and spring semesters. Only one church scholarship will be matched for each student. Additional requirements are listed on the Church Matching application.
Gardner-Webb Legacy Grants are awarded to students that have an immediate family member who is a graduate of Gardner-Webb University (parent, grandparent, great-grandparent, or sibling). The grant is confirmed by the Alumni Relations Office and is awarded at $500 per year.
Minister’s Dependent Scholarships are awarded to a dependent student (as labeled by the IRS-—does not include a spouse) of a full-time, ordained minister or an ordained, full-time employee of a Christian church or Christian church-related agency. The application deadline is August 1, and the award amount is $5,500 for the year ($2750 per semester).
Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) Room and Board Scholarships are available for those students receiving an Army ROTC scholarship. Gardner-Webb will cover the cost of a standard double room and the 21-meal plan less any federal or state grants. The scholarship will be renewed each year the student continues to receive the ROTC scholarship.
