Texas District Sectional Grant

Texas Bible College has a rich legacy. God has used the ministry of TBC to impact the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ. The UPCI fellowship as well as many of the churches in our own district have been blessed by the ministry of those that have attended TBC. There is a way that we, as a district, can be a blessing to the students who will continue to promote this apostolic message. ​Students enrolling from the section would have first consideration for the grant. There will be a vetting process by the TBC grant/scholarship committee that would consider GPA and church ministry involvement. This ensures that the grant is invested wisely.
