A Half-Century of Blessing
1975-2025

50^th Anniversary of the Billy Graham Scholarship Program

“Now glory be to God who by His mighty power at work within us is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of – infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts or hopes. May He be given glory forever and ever through endless ages…” Ephesians 3:20-21a LB.

"Because training leaders for the Lord’s service worldwide has been one of its primary goals, from its inception in 1974-75, the program has provided scholarship assistance to international students enrolled in Wheaton Graduate School.”

In 2025-26 we will glorify God and celebrate our 50^th anniversary!

Every Billy Graham Scholar is invited to return to campus to reminisce, share your stories, and inspire the next generations.
