Foundation Update: Mabel Anderson Scholarship, May 2021

The Mabel Anderson Scholarship was established from a generous bequest received from the estate of Mabel Anderson between 1989 in memory of her parents, Peder and Johanna Anderson. It was Mabel’s wish that this monetary gift would enable further growth of our church, its ministries and stewardship within the community.

Last spring, the committee awarded nine scholarships to area high school seniors, who are now on the way to finishing their first year of post-secondary learning. Please keep them in your prayers. We are certain that they had a very interesting first year due to the pandemic.

This year’s deadline for applicants was April 15. We are currently reviewing applications and will be in touch with this year’s scholarship recipients soon.

If you are interested in more information on how you could start a scholarship fund, or have questions on estate giving, please contact the First Lutheran Church Office by emailing office@firstlu.org or calling 608.783.2236. The Stewardship and Foundation Committees will be happy to help you.
