Application for Graduate Study in Ministry Scholarship
Granted by Presbyterian Women of
First Presbyterian Church of Ann Arbor, Michigan
This scholarship has a rich history as it honors dedicated women and men who were/are active members of First Presbyterian Church of Ann Arbor, vital participants in the work of PW, and have given financial gifts to support this scholarship for students studying for the ministry.
The original scholarship endowment was established in 1984 in honor of Doris S. Barnett. In 1990, the Kooyers family added memorial monies to this endowment to honor Joanne Kooyers, and designated those funds to aid women scholars. One more outstanding contributor to the ministry of our church and PW, Mable Rugen, was honored in 1999 when additional funds were added in her name.
PW continues to place a great deal of importance on scholarships and has been selling scholarship “shares” at church mission bazaars to maintain the ability to award scholarships.
Scholarship information should be publicized February – April with selection and announcement of the scholarship recipient(s) by no later than the May Presbyterian Women’s meeting.
Due to this outstanding heritage of honor and generosity, PW Scholarship Committee is pleased to offer this Presbyterian Women’s Scholarship to friends and members of First Presbyterian Church of Ann Arbor.
