Applications for the Marian Yarbrough Scholarship will be considered for full-time students at any post-secondary institution. Applications for the Cox Memorial Scholarship are considered for full-time students attending Belmont University only. This is a competitive application process as the Council has the funds to award a limited number of scholarships. Decisions will be based upon student involvement (church, community, school), academic standing, career goals, an essay and a letter of recommendation. Priority will be given to applicants who have not previously received a scholarship from the Council. An applicant must have been a resident member of First Baptist Nashville for one year prior to entering a post- secondary program. Application forms, along with scholarship descriptions, are available from Student Ministry Assistant Marissa Moore or online at firstbaptistnashville.org. In order to be considered, an application, an essay, and a letter of recommendation must be received by the church office on or before April 15, 2013. Celebrating Grace Hymnal The deadline to be included in the Hymnal Dedication Commemorative Program is Sunday, March 24.
