We’re Changing Lives And Need Your Help! Dear Mission of Hope Friends; WE’RE SERVING MORE STUDENTS WITH NEW SCHOLARSHIPS…OUR CURRENT SCHOLARS ARE GRADUATING FROM COLLEGE…AND WE’RE HELPING THEM BREAK THE CYCLE OF POVERTY IN THEIR FAMILIES. It’s a very special time here at the HOPE as we celebrate the Graduation of 10 more of our Mission of Hope Scholars this May for a total of 70 Graduates. These Graduates have received degrees in various fields such as Nursing, Accounting, Education, Business Administration, Occupational Therapy, Agricultural Economics, Communications, Diesel Mechanics, Social Work, Public Administration and Mechanical, Civil & Industrial Engineering. We have watched our Scholars grow and mature. Many of them have endured hardships, personal challenges, family tragedies and any number of other matters that could have easily stopped their pursuit of getting their diploma. But they didn’t quit…they persevered…and they were determined that they were going to finish College, walk across the stage with their head held high and pick up the Diploma they have dreamed about. This my friends…is HOPE FULFILLED. The Mission of Hope Scholarship Program is trying to help those that dare to dream. We began several years ago with Scholarship Endowments at Alice Lloyd College in Pippa Passes, KY (in honor of the Bill Williams Family) and Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, TN (in honor of the Andrew Courtney Family). Now for the Thirteenth consecutive year, we are awarding $3,000 Scholarships to 19 NEW Graduating High School Seniors, 1 Alice Lloyd student, 1 LMU Student and 2 Clear Creek Bible College Students for a total of 23 New Scholarships. In Fall 2021, we will have 56 Scholars on active Scholarship. WE NEED YOUR HELP TO CONTINUE MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THESE STUDENTS LIVES.
