Scholarship Spotlight

The Robert Franklin Parker

Memorial Scholarship Fund

This scholarship was put in place for the purpose of honoring the life of Robert Franklin Parker, a truly outstanding Christian businessman.

Mr. Parker loved his Lord, his wife, his children and grandchildren. He loved people, especially young people just starting their life's journey. He encouraged each of them to attain his or her "best" through seeking God's direction and through education, both of which Mr. Parker valued as a privilege and a necessity.

Mr. Parker enjoyed serving his church and community in many volunteer positions. He had a zest for living and wanted that for everyone.

Earnings of the fund are being distributed as scholarships to worthy and deserving students who are pursuing a Masters of Business Administration or Law Degree from an accredited instituion and in need of financial aid.

Prospective recipients should demonstrate academic excellence, high moral character, and strong leadership skils with the ability and desire to impact the professional community in a Christ-like manner.
