Sarah Musgrove Scholarship Fund
The Sarah Musgrove Scholarship Fund of our church was established in 1986 as a result of the benevolence of the late Mrs. Sarah Musgrove, a loving and dedicated member of our church family, who continually stressed the importance of young people furthering their education. We felt that the establishment of such a fund to assist students with higher educational pursuits was a fitting memorial to the Christian service and contributions rendered by Mrs. Musgrove. Scholarships have been issued yearly since 1987 to deserving senior high students from the Nashville community who submitted completed applications.
