The T.B. Maston Foundation is receiving applications for its scholarship to cover the 2025-26 academic year, David Morgan, the executive director, announced.

“The Maston Foundation provides a $5,000 scholarship annually to a graduate student whose study focuses on Christian ethics,” Morgan said. Eligible candidates are Doctor of Philosophy students writing dissertations that deal with ethical implications and Doctor of Ministry students whose projects include an ethical focus. 

Morgan noted that by awarding scholarships to doctoral-level students, the Maston Foundation seeks to encourage ongoing leadership and scholarship in the field of Christian ethics. The foundation also attempts to challenge other Baptists to live out an authentic Christlike ethic.

Maston’s former students, colleagues and friends have presented 34 scholarships in his name since 1982. 

Scholarship application packets include an application form, application transcripts, a CV/ resumé, letters of recommendation, a dissertation/ thesis abstract and an essay. To access the online application, click here.

The Maston Foundation perpetuates the teaching and legacy of its namesake, a renowned professor of Christian ethics and Baptist champion of racial justice in the 20th century. In addition to its annual scholarship, the foundation also conducts retreats, including one annually for undergraduate students, called Young Maston Scholars.
