No. The scholarships we administer are currently limited to undergraduate studies or seminary/graduate school.

No. Select “All Applicable” when completing the online application form.  This way you will be applying for all our scholarships with just one application. 

Yes. If you are a new applicant, you will need to provide TWO references.

If you are a re-applicant, you DO NOT need to provide references again.

You will need two references: one from your Pastor or Youth Pastor and one from someone who would know about your work ethic. If you are applying specifically for the Master’Singers Scholarship, please have one of your two references be a Worship Pastor, Worship Leader or someone who is familiar with your musicality. Your references will also need your email address. Relatives cannot be used as a reference. At the end of your application, you will be asked to provide their name and email addresses and a reference form will be emailed to them automatically. Should you need to send it to them again, the form can be found here: abf.org/reference/. We do not accept paper references.

You should receive a confirmation email with a copy of your responses. If you did not receive one, try checking your spam or junk mail.

You can also email us at info@abf.org and we will check for you!

Scholarship recipients will be notified prior to the beginning of the fall semester of their scholarship status.

Fall distributions are made at the end of August and Spring distributions are made at the end of January. We will send the award directly to the school.

If you decided to attend a different school than listed on your application, please notify us at info@abf.org. Scholarship recipients are chosen based on certain criteria. Your scholarship award may be available at a different school depending on the particular scholarship.
