GRACE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH CREATES PERMANENT SCHOLARSHIP FUND WITHIN CSF OF BGM

The Citizens Scholarship Foundation of BGM (a Dollars for Scholars Chapter) has received a donation from Grace United Methodist Church to create a permanent scholarship fund. This scholarship is set up to be given to a graduating BGM senior.  The student must be a member of GUMC and must have met certain criteria for participation in church activities during their Junior and Senior High School years.

The Foundation is grateful to Grace United Methodist Church for the support. With your help and encouragement all students wishing to continue on to a higher education will be helped and challenged to be the best they can be.

Anyone wishing to add to this fund or any of the other funds within the Foundation, please contact Becky Edelen, Board of Trustee representative for the TTT, or any other Board member. You can also write to Box 469, Brooklyn, IA 52211.
