The Generosity Trust will again award more than $100,000 in Dora Maclellan Brown Ministry Scholarships in 2017. The scholarships are named in memory of the late Mrs. Brown, daughter of the founder of Provident Life & Accident Insurance Company, who helped educate students until her death in 1974. Using her legacy, the foundation since 1972 has helped about 500 students prepare for leadership in Christian ministry. The first Dora Maclellan Brown Scholar was Dr. Timothy George, a native Chattanoogan who is the founding dean of Beeson Divinity School in Birmingham.
Dora Maclellan Brown Ministry Scholarships are available to men and women from the Chattanooga area who are Biblically conservative and are seeking a master’s degree at a theological seminary or other graduate school approved by the foundation. Scholarships are based on merit and need for the duration of the degree program, usually two to four years.
The application deadline is 5 p.m. on Feb. 16, 2017. A committee will interview finalists a few weeks later, the awards will be announced in April, and grants will begin in the summer.
