Memorial Scholarship Fund
The Memorial Scholarship Fund of the Diocese of Washington was established in 1925. MSF grants are made to lay and ordained women pursuing post graduate degrees in Christian ministry and social work. Women enrolled in the Diocesan Diaconate program are eligible. Contributions are made by parishes in memory of their deceased women.
Many parishioners are now beginning to think of MSF as a unique way of expressing one’s gratitude for the good life that God has granted. MSF is also one way to commemorate those who have left us. Some parishes have designated the Memorial Scholarship Fund in their budgets as a special line item. Learn more... |

Bishop John Bryson Chane Scholarship for Social Justice
The Bishop John Bryson Chane Scholarship for Social Justice was established by the ECW Board in 2011 in honor of the work of Bishop John Bryson Chane. Grants are awarded yearly to graduating seniors in the Diocese of Washington who have an interest in social justice.
The 2017 recipients include Katherine V. Ericson from St. Nicholas Episcopal Church, Arrington Peterson from St. Mark's Episcopal Church, Peggy Price from St. Timothy's Episcopal Church, Rebecca Riggs from Church of the Redeemer, and Justin Walker from Christ Church Clinton. The ECW Board is proud to recognize these young people in the amount of $1000 each and we wish them well in their first year of college. Students must be active members of an Episcopal church within one of the eight regions of the Diocese of Washington, demonstrate a commitment to social justice, have plans to attend college the fall after their graduation, and submit an application describing their interest. Applications may be downloaded below and must be postmarked by March 1st to be considered for this year. Learn more...
