Desert Hills Presbyterian Church Ace and Margaret Fogdall Scholarship Fund Chairperson: Laurann Cook Members: Marcia Fishman Sandra Carson

MISSION STATEMENT To encourage and promote education through a scholarship fund designed to provide a semiannual stipend to dedicated and worthy students who by their contribution to church, school and community have demonstrated good Christian character. The scholarship is given to supplement expenses required to fund a 4-year Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science degree, or a 2-year community college Associate of Arts degree with the intent to transfer to a 4-year accredited program for a Bachelor's degree.

2021 GOALS To provide scholarships to high school graduates who are members or affiliates of Desert Hills Presbyterian Church or members of Leupp Presbyterian Church.

2021 ACCOMPLISHMENTS During 2021, we provided semiannual stipends to six students for a total of $10,000. Each

semester, students provide their transcripts and must maintain a 3.0 (B) cumulative grade point average (GPA) for Level 1 funding, 2.75 cumulative grade point average for Level 2 or a minimum 2.5 cumulative grade point average for Level 3 funding. Scholarship funds are generated from rental of the bell tower for cellphone equipment.

The bell tower was constructed with monies donated by Ace and Margaret Fogdall, and the Fogdalls stipulated that all rental fees be applied to fund scholarships for

DHPC and Leupp Presbyterian Church students. Active students receiving scholarships during 2021 are: Hannah Kress, Bessie Benham,

Nathaniel Everett, Zach Hoffman, Makyla

Allison and Joseph Pitts.

2022 GOALS To continue to provide scholarships to deserving high school graduates who are members of Desert Hills Presbyterian Church or

Leupp Presbyterian Church.
