Schools Receive First Endowment Scholarships

August 14, 2024

ALVARADO, TEX. – The first Texas Conference Endowment funds have been sent to all 21 Texas Conference schools to provide financial assistance for the 2024-2025 school year. We appreciate the strong commitment to Adventist education from the Texas Conference constituents, board of education, finance and executive committees to help fund the Texas Conference Endowment. This fund will continue to provide annual financial resources to Texas Conference schools.

“We need to unite to help our young people afford a Christian education at a Texas Conference school,” shared Texas Conference President Elton DeMoraes. “It is so important for our churches and schools to work together for the good of our children.”

“The Texas Conference Endowment can be increased as donations come in,” added Texas Conference Treasurer Randy Terry. The income from the endowment will be divided three ways: 45 percent to Educate for Eternity for new students attending a Texas Conference school, 45 percent to all Texas Conference schools to increase their worthy student funding and 10 percent added to the principal of the endowment fund to ensure its funding.

Want to be part of those miracle stories enabling young people to attend a Texas Conference school when they didn’t think it was financially possible? Contribute to the endowment by marking a tithe envelope or giving online through AdventistGiving.org. 

It takes a village to raise up the next generation. We need your help and prayers as we work to provide the greatest evangelistic opportunity through our schools.
