MILL VALLEY, Calif. (BP) — Additional scholarship assistance for qualifying Southern Baptist mission volunteers to receive seminary training has been announced by Golden Gate Seminary.

SBC mission volunteers who qualify are those in International Mission Board programs such as ISC/Journeymen and North American Mission Board programs such as MSC and US2/C2.

The IMB’s International Service Corps (ISC) encompasses singles, couples, and young families who accept an assignment from two to three years, while the Journeyman program encompasses single 20-something college graduates who commit to two years of international cross-cultural missionary service.

NAMB’s Mission Service Corps encompasses self-funded missionaries who serve for four months or more in an assigned ministry supporting the evangelism and church planting efforts in North America. US2/C2 missionaries are college graduates who serve two years under appointment with NAMB and participating state conventions or the Canadian Convention of Southern Baptists.

The missions scholarships – $4,320 in tuition funding toward the first 24 credit hours taken at Golden Gate – will be available for fall 2008 admissions.
