FWBC Scholarship Guidelines and Application

 

First Waughtown Baptist Church celebrates academic achievement during our College Day celebrated on the third Sunday in May each year. A major part of the celebration includes awarding two scholarships of $1,500.00 each to deserving high school graduating seniors who are members of the church.
