Connor Memorial Scholarship, the Eleanor Edwards Memorial Scholarship, and from funds generously provided by the Southminster Endowment Committee, the Presbyterian Women in Southminster and individual gifts. Application is to be made by completing a form that may be obtained from the Church Office or online. Those college students who filed an application last year are reminded that a new form must be completed this year in order to be considered for a grant for the school year 2010-2011.
