Our students come from varied religious traditions with a strong emphasis on Buddhism. They are a diverse group who study together and share their traditions with each other in deep respect. The IBS Student Scholarship program was established to attract, encourage, and support students enrolled in our degree and certificate programs. IBS graduates contribute to society in so many ways:
- Shin Buddhist Ministry students, upon graduation and completion of their ordination, can serve as Kaikyoshi (head) Ministers in BCA churches and temples.
- Chaplaincy Students can serve in hospitals, healthcare facilities, and hospice, in prisons, in the military, or within their own Buddhist communities.
- Shin and Buddhist Research Students can study to become teachers, scholars, and authors to spread the Buddhist teachings in the academic world.
