Saint James Episcopal Church has been blessed through the generations to be able to provide scholarships to eligible parishioners who are attending post-secondary education, including full-time or part-time enrollment in an associate, baccalaureate or graduate program. These funds have been made possible by generous gifts and bequests to our endowment, with resources set aside specifically for use as scholarships.

The scholarship funds will be heavily weighted toward those individuals who are actively involved in the life of the parish, school and or community. Scholarship recipients will be acknowledged in June. We are excited to extend the application process to immediate family of staff members, including children and grandchildren.
