ABCCR Opportunity Scholarship
This “Opportunity Scholarship” is awarded by the American Baptist Churches of the Central Region to
encourage lifelong learning. It was established by the ABCCR Board of Directors in 2005. Two $1000
scholarships are awarded each spring. This is a general scholarship to encourage higher education (beyond high
school). It is a one-year award and students who wish to be considered for an additional year must reapply.
