Samford University’s Beeson Divinity School will once again offer full tuition scholarships for students beginning their studies in 2026, following the renewal of a major gift to the school by an anonymous donor.
The “Our Risen Lord” scholarships are merit-based and available to full-time graduate students, with priority given to Master of Divinity students who complete the scholarship essay along with their application.

The money covers the full cost of tuition and fees for the recipients over three years of study at Beeson, the average amount of time needed to complete the MDiv program.
The scholarships assist students in committing to Beeson’s model of in-person theological education, Beeson Dean Douglas A. Sweeney said earlier this year, when the scholarships were first announced.
Deadlines
The priority scholarship deadline for fall 2026 enrollment is Feb. 1, with an application deadline of June 1. Learn more about admission requirements and start your application online.
