The Session recently approved a new Scholarship Fund for Mission Partners. The primary purpose of this new scholarship is to grant annually an undergraduate or graduate scholarship to an international student from an economically-challenged family identified through Sharon Presbyterian Church’s mission connections.
The first recipient of this new scholarship is Brenda Paredes of Lima, Peru.
Brenda is known to many in our church through her invaluable assistance with our Peru Mission Trips and her two recent internships with our congregation. Brenda has been accepted to Winthrop University in Rock Hill, SC, and will begin her studies later this month. Watch for more details in the next church newsletter.
Gifts to the scholarship fund should be made payable to Sharon Presbyterian Church and clearly earmarked “College Fund.”
