Rev. Martha Forrest Scholarship Endowment Established

The Foundation shares their passion and in 2013 awarded 80 United Methodist scholarships by partnering with the United Methodist Higher Education Foundation through the United Methodist "Dollars for Scholars" program.
Martha served first as a pastor and then as a district superintendent before retiring from the North Georgia Conference in 2006. "I'm proud of the outstanding Methodist schools we have in Georgia," she said. "I want to support the young people in the Methodist church in hopes that they will be our future leaders."
Bob adds, "The unique thing about this scholarship program is that it is matched three times: once by the student's church, once by the Higher Education Foundation and once by the school that they attend. We hope this scholarship will inspire others to consider giving back because there are a lot of Methodist students who need financial help."
