Congratulations to scholarship recipients!
Congratulations to Knox College students awarded special scholarships for the 2020-2021 academic year:
The Reid Trust has awarded a scholarship to Jonathan Cleland, doctoral student. The Reid Trust assists candidates who are working in the Reformed tradition and are looking to make a contribution to the Church in Canada.
First Presbyterian Church in Brandon, Man., has awarded Candice Bahadoor and Christine Samuel, both MDiv students, the Jessie Duncan Scholarship. The Jessie Duncan Scholarship was created in memory of David and Jessie Duncan, early members of First Presbyterian, and generally provides assistance to theological students studying in one of the PCC’s three theological schools.
St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church (Simcoe, Ont.), has awarded the Dr. D.C. MacDonald Trust Scholarship to Gerald Gallant, MDiv student. The goal of the Dr. D.C. MacDonald Trust is to help furnish the church with strong pastoral leadership. Rev. Mikal Schomburg (St. Paul’s) wrote to Gerald, “Your past experience and present involvement show that you have those giftings that will be of benefit to your future congregation and to the church as a whole, and I’m quite pleased to offer our support to you and your family this year.”
