We share God’s grace with area high school students who face financial, cultural, physical and linguistic obstacles to higher education by providing scholarships, mentoring and ongoing support throughout their college years.
In 2023, The Foundation awarded $250,000 in scholarship support to 75 students attending 25 colleges and universities across the country. This is the highest level ever and we had our largest incoming class with 23 new students. The Foundation helps identify potential recipients, many of whom are the first in their family to attend college, through mentoring programs including SpringSpirit and SBISD’s Collegiate Challenge, local high school counselors, the UMC Central South District of the Texas Annual Conference, and Chapelwood worship communities and members. We honor our students and their achievements at a bi-annual fundraising luncheon.
