Colleges and Universities
Explanation of Relationships
The Southern Baptist Convention lists the following colleges
and universities as a service to Southern Baptists and the Baptist state
conventions with which it maintains a cooperative relationship. With
the exception of the five theological colleges associated with our SBC
seminaries, the Southern Baptist Convention has no direct connection with
any of these institutions. It provides no funding. It elects
no trustees. Each institution is related to one of our partnering
Baptist state conventions.
The Cooperative Program is the unified budget plan adopted
by the SBC. Each state convention receives Cooperative Program funds
from churches in its state or region. The state convention retains
a portion of Cooperative Program contributions from its affiliated churches
for missions and ministries in its respective state or region. If
a college or university receives funding from a Baptist state convention,
this funding comes only from Cooperative Program funds forwarded to the
state convention by churches in that respective state. No Cooperative
Program funds forwarded by the states to the national convention (the
SBC) are allocated to a college or university related to any of our partnering
Baptist state conventions.
The SBC provides no scholarship assistance to any student
through the SBC Cooperative Program Allocation Budget. Scholarship
awards are coordinated through each respective college or university’s
finance office in accordance with guidelines adopted by the individual
school.
The governance and funding procedures of the five colleges
associated with the SBC seminaries are compatible with the Southern Baptist
Convention’s bylaws and its Business and Financial Plan.
