In 2019, Canyon Institute established the Canyon Institute Bachelor of Applied Theology Endowed Scholarship at CBU. The Bachelor of Applied Theology (BAT) program is designed for those called to pastoral ministry or church planting. The BAT program combines theological knowledge with practical experience. Students study the Bible and learn biblical Greek and Hebrew and must also complete a two-year internship in a local church. Since inception, the endowment has awarded over $130,000 to BAT students at California Baptist University.
