The Evelyn Huey Scholarship Fund
For the past 31 years, Mrs. Evelyn Huey has been a fixture within the SFCS community. She has made an incredible impact on the lives of current students and alumni. Mrs. Huey is an amazing example of a true Christian leader, someone who loves, accepts, and cares for each individual. The Alumni Association has selected Mrs. Huey as the namesake of our Scholarship Fund because she exemplifies our goal, which is to open our arms to those in need regardless of status, background, life experiences, or popularity.
Our vision is to give students the opportunity to be educated in a loving environment and appreciated for their individuality. We hope to make an impact on future Christian leaders by contributing and continuing the cycle of giving into the future.
What we will need from you, the Alumni Community and those of you who associate yourself with SFC on any level, is to find a way to commit to contributing to the Evelyn Huey Scholarship Fund. If each of you think about one event that stood out in your mind in a positive way- whether it be a friend that you are still close with, a teacher that impacted you, a moment that you look back on with fond memories, then this is what we want you to consider when you decide to donate. Financial times are hard for many of us, and any amount impacts this Fund significantly. However, if we can change the lives of students in a way that they can look back on remember fondly then we as the SFC Community have been successful in passing on the amazing experiences that we all had.
SUMMER 2011 UPDATE
The Evelyn Huey Scholarship Fund awarded $2,000 scholarships to four juniors this spring. The scholarships will be applied to their SFC tuition this upcoming school year, ensuring they are able to complete their education at SFC. Fourteen students in the junior class applied for the scholarships. Winners were selected by a panel of alumni based on criteria that included financial need, involvement in co-curricular activities, and personal testimony.
Funding for the scholarships came from Alumni donations at the 2010 Homecoming celebration and through an online campaign. The SFC Alumni Association launched the fund last June with the goal of ensuring that current students are able to graduate from SFC. The fund has raised more than $17,000 from alumni over the past year and is hoping to grow its impact in the coming year.
Thank you, alumni, for your generous support of the Evelyn Huey Scholarship Fund! You are making a difference!
