Scholarship/Financial Aid information
2025-2026 Academic Year
The first and most important step for any student seeking financial aid is to apply
for admission to Ouachita. An application for admission serves as an application for
most OBU scholarships. Likewise, to be considered for additional federal aid sources,
the student (and their parents) must submit the FAFSA (see www.fafsa.ed.gov). Notification of all scholarship awards is made by Student Financial Services. Students
who have been accepted may also view aid information through their OBU Web Portal
account at info.obu.edu.
Arkansas Baptist State Convention (ABSC) Scholarships
There are several Arkansas Baptist State Convention scholarships available for students
attending Ouachita. The primary deadline for applications will be Feb. 1. Students can apply for these scholarships at https://www.abf.org/scholarships.
PSCS Advisory Board and PSCS Ministry/Missions Scholarships
For Incoming Freshmen and Transfer Students
The Pruet School of Christian Studies offers a small number of scholarships to incoming
freshmen and transfer students which can be stacked with their merit aid from Ouachita.
These scholarships typically range from $500 - $2000 per year and are awarded primarily
on the basis of financial need, but ministry potential is also considered (with ministry
being defined in a wide sense, including all areas of church ministry and missions).
To apply for these scholarships send an email to Dr. Jeremy Greer at [email protected] with the following information: A statement regarding your call to Christian vocation
and what kind of ministry in which you are interested; your high school GPA; ACT/SAT
test scores.

For Upperclassmen
The OBU Pruet School of Christian Studies has a limited number of endowed scholarships that are designated for upperclassmen (Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors). The number and the amount of these scholarships vary from year to year. The amount generally ranges from $250 to $3000 per year, and awards will be based primarily on need. The student must have a FAFSA application on file with Student Financial Services to be eligible. Questions about these scholarships should be directed to the Dean of the Pruet School of Christian Studies (Dr. Jeremy Greer) at [email protected].
