About Diocesan Scholarship Funds
As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting the educational pursuits of our youth, we attempt to offer scholarships to students entering post-secondary education each year. The diocese has a few funds that we utilize to provide scholarships to students, including:
-
McCorvey Fund: This fund was established as a trust from the Last Will and Testament of Mary Arnold. The income from this fund is reserved for educational scholarships for deserving/needy students, awarded based on students' applications.
-
Bishop Wilmer Scholarship Fund: This fund was created many years ago by the Episcopal Churchwomen of Alabama to help award scholarships to children of clergy, based on their applications.
-
Ashby MacArthur Jones Scholarship Fund: This scholarship fund was established by the Rt. Rev. Ci Jones, in honor of his wife, Ashby MacArthur Jones, to benefit Episcopal young women who are seeking to be Registered Nurses or Licensed Practical Nurses. The scholarship is restricted to women, entering or attending a School of Nursing on a full-time basis to become an LPN or an RN, and is an Episcopalian resident in the Episcopal Diocese of the Central Gulf Coast.
If you would like to donate to these or other diocesan scholarship funds, please contact our Diocesan Administrator, Dwight Babcock, at (850) 434-7337 or dwight@diocgc.org.
