 The fund is self-sustaining and only receives income from gifts and investments. And this will keep it going, but our committee must be judicious in how much we award every year so that we do not deplete the balance. We ask that you keep the scholarship fund in mind with your benevolences to First Church. This year, each recipient will receive $500. We realize it's not a significant amount towards today's education costs, but our hope is to purchase a book or two if they're still using books.
