About us

The Billy Graham Center Scholarship Program (BGCSP), a division of the Billy Graham Center at Wheaton College, Wheaton, Illinois, is dedicated to advancing the global Christian church by providing funds for specific Christian leaders to earn advanced training that will help enhance the ministry to which God has called them.  Additionally, the Scholarship Program has been able to help scholarship recipients network with each other in order to stimulate a more global community among these Christian leaders and provide opportunities for growth in that way.

The BGCSP provides four different awards to specific types of Christian leaders to attend Wheaton College Graduate School for more advanced training, and one award exclusively reserved for Wheaton College graduates.  In order to receive an award, the interested individual must meet the requirements of one of these categories to be eligible to apply.  The awards provided by the BGCSP include:

  • The International Christian Leader Award
  • The International Furloughing Missionary Award
  • The North American Furloughing Missionary Award
  • The Pre-Field Missionary Candidate Award
  • The Urban Missionary Award
  • The Bennett Award (Wheaton College graduates only)
