Brother-to Brother Scholarship

The members of the Friendship Missionary Baptist Church have been generous, through gifts and memorials, to establish the Brother-to-Brother Scholarship Fund. The purpose of the scholarship is to assist students with finances to purchase books, supplies, and other materials needed which are not covered by the college or university. This scholarship is awarded annually to graduating high school seniors. The value of the scholarship will vary according to returns on the invested funds and the number of qualified applicants.

Application Procedure

up at the church office or the North Hall at the Information Tree. It can be downloaded from the church website as well.
