Who Funds the Memorial Scholarship Fund?
The Memorial Scholarship Fund is supported by the members of churches across the Episcopal Diocese of Washington. Many parishioners are now thinking of MSF as a unique way of expressing one’s gratitude for the good life that God has granted.
Some parishes have designated the Memorial Scholarship Fund in their budgets as a special line item.
The MSF is also a way to commemorate those who have left us. Contributions are made by Episcopal parishes in the Diocese of Washington in memory of their deceased women.
Donations to the Memorial Scholarship Fund (MSF) should be made using the Donation Form. Completed donation forms should be returned to the ECW-EDOW Treasurer by September 30th each year, in order to be acknowledged at our annual meeting.
