2025 Addie Davis Scholarship Application Opens

The Addie Davis Scholarships provide financial support for Baptist women enrolled in seminary to pursue a calling to ministry and leadership. The scholarship is named in honor of Rev. Addie Davis, the first woman ordained to pastoral ministry by a Southern Baptist Church in 1964.

To be eligible for the scholarship, you must:

• Be female with membership in a Baptist church (affiliation with any Baptist denominational organization/group is acceptable).
• Be enrolled full-time in a Master’s-level program (MDiv, MA, MTS, etc.) or Doctor of Ministry (DMin) program at an ATS accredited seminary or divinity school. Applicants who graduate prior to the fall 2025 academic term will not be eligible. Enrollment at a Baptist-affiliated school is not required.
• Articulate and provide evidence of a sense of calling to ministry and leadership among Baptist communities.
