Scholarships
First Baptist Church of Suitland is blessed to be able to award scholarships to students because of the generosity of members who have gone home to be with the Lord.
The First Baptist Church of Suitland Scholarship Fund was established on October 5, 1998. The Fund was established as a result of a gift from the estates of Mrs. Goldie McRae and Mr. Luther McRae. The Stewardship Committee, Deacons, Trustees, and Pastor recommended that $30,000.00 of the estates be allocated to a Scholarship Fund. Scholarships are to be granted out of the interest earnings of the Fund. Anyone can contribute to the Scholarship Fund.
The purpose of the Scholarship Fund is to provide financial support to our college students.
This scholarship is given in honor of the late Loraine Coles Simpson, a longstanding member of the First Baptist Church of Suitland Maryland. Simpson was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend to many. She always gave of her time and wisdom to enrich the lives of others.
Purpose: To assist Youth going to college that have a financial need for funds. Youth that already have a full scholarship should not apply.
