Just heard that I've been accepted to Vanderbilt with a 75% tuition scholarship. My question is if anyone knows about the potential to get more scholarships through the department? I'm trying to close to gap of that 25% and I want to exhaust all the avenues here!

Mounce has a lot of his lessons free online. He's one of the go-to authors.

I'm hoping to be one of the select few if I end up going there!

Thanks for the reply! Asbury does actually offer decent scholarships what what I can see, it just comes down to getting them or not. I guess time will tell!

I'm fairly confident of getting accepted, but its the funding I'm worried about...

I'm a senior at a small private Christian University. I'm double majoring in Biblical Studies and Biblical languages. Here's some other info: 3.75 GPA 3 years of Hebrew 1 year of Greek Vice President of the Alpha Chi honor society I have a 110ish hours of total community service I participated in a mentoring ministry at a local youth transitional living home (from foster care to independent living) with other students from my university. We hung out with the teens there, played games, and took them around town hoping to be positive influences during difficult times of transition. I also volunteered in local jail ministry where I would lead several short services or Bible studies over a three hour period with the men living there. I did that for a total of 18 hours I was on the board for setting up a large food distribution center held at the small church I attended. In conjunction with a government organization (Ozark Food Harvest), this small church of 75 people now feeds over 600 local individuals and families ever two weeks. This with the help of interdenominational volunteers and donations—I am immensely honored to have helped start this service. I did that for a total of 70 hours. I'm applying to: Yale, Vanderbilt, and Asbury (as well as two local fall-back type schools). What are the chances of decent funding from these schools?
