Samford’s Preministerial Scholars Program Celebrates Decade of Success

Samford University’s Preministerial Scholars program in Howard College of Arts and Sciences is celebrating 10 years of helping students answer their calling. The pre-professional scholarship program combines the Religion Department’s curriculum with the practical experience of church-related Christian ministry.

An impressive 94 percent of program alumni are currently in ministry-related graduate programs, Christian ministry positions or both. They are worship pastors, youth ministers, overseas missionaries, college campus ministers, hospital chaplains and ministry leaders for nonprofit organizations.
