Conkle-Rowe Scholarship Endowment
In 2019 we reconstituted the scholarship endowment that was once dedicated to Henry Conkle and added Pat Rowe to its name. They are the two parishioners who over the past many, many decades have led our ministry to support area students needing help to attend college. Henry Conkle who first started the church’s scholarship program and our own Pat Rowe who has been the scholarship committee chairman since 2002 and deserve such recognition.
Scholarships for post high school education are awarded annually by the Church. There are currently twenty students receiving these scholarships that are awarded to students who reside in the Cashiers area. The scholarship committee is a subcommittee under the Outreach committee. Funds for the scholarships come from the Outreach budget, as well as the Shepherd and Scholarship Funds. The income from these Funds is established by the congregation and given for both vocational training and higher education colleges. The average amount awarded each year for these scholarships is $45,000+. Applications are received each spring from graduating seniors. The scholarship committee interviews applicants, and awards are based on academic standing and financial need. Each applicant must reapply each year, and with acceptable grade averages, will be awarded the scholarship until their degree is completed. Graduate scholarships are also given for those students who have received past awards during undergraduate studies. The committee also provides computers to students whose families are unable to afford them. For over twenty years the scholarship program has benefited many grateful students who would not otherwise have been able to continue their education beyond high school.
Donation envelopes are available in Hines Hall or click the button above to donate to the Conkle-Rowe Endowment Fund.
Thank you for your support in helping the young people in our community!
