Three years ago our association voted to establish a committee to explore the possibility of beginning a scholarship to be used for college students from our churches. The Moderator appointed the committee but the committee never met.
Last night a new committee met and discussed the possibility of beginning such a scholarship. They will have a recommendation ready for our annual meeting on March 1. We have three options. Option 1 is the one they recommend which is to begin a Wolf Bayou Endowment through the Cleburne County Community Foundation, an affiliate of the Arkansas Community Foundation. The funds deposited into this endowment would be invested by ARCF and the earnings each year would be given to the association to use as a scholarship. An endowment of $10,000 would produce $500 to be used as a scholarship every year.
Option 2 would be to raise funds every year and however much is raised would be the amount available to give out as scholarships. Option 3 would be to not have a scholarship at all.
What do you think?
