MARGARET BURNHAM MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP AND RHODA B. SIMERSON SCHOLARSHIP FUND
Scholarship Ministry Purpose Statement: “We will invest financially in the education of Chapel Hill members with a demonstrated faithfulness to Christ and to the ministries and mission of Chapel Hill, whom we deem most likely to make an impact for the sake of Jesus upon His world.” With that in mind, priority will be given firstly, to students who are active members of Chapel Hill; secondly, to non-member children or grandchildren of active members of Chapel Hill (as affirmed by church records). Chapel Hill scholarships are not need-based. Application Instructions: Fully completed applications with all attachments must be received by June 15, 2014 to be considered. Late submissions will not be accepted. As there are limited scholarships available, not all applications will be rewarded a scholarship. Applications will be reviewed by the Scholarship Committee with awards letters to be mailed by July 21, 2014. Submit all applications to: Chapel Hill Presbyterian Church Scholarship Committee Attn: Darrel DeHaven P.O. Box 829 Gig Harbor, WA 98335 Or Email:
