Central Florida Pastors Endowed Scholarship Fund created for Bethune Cookam University - still accepting donations
Posted By: Reginald Culpepper on December 09, 2022


Local faith leaders recently gathered in Orlando for a morning of fellowship and commitment to advancing higher education. During a breakfast event on Dec. 1, the pastors of 40 local congregations, including Bishop Allen Wiggins, Dr. Joel Hunter, Bishop Derrick McRae and Dr.



George Cope, discussed a mutual mission aimed at breaking the cycle of poverty through college education and announced the creation of the Central Florida Pastors Endowed Scholarship Fund.

A check for $50,000 was presented to Bethune-Cookman University, which will help students cover the costs associated with attending Daytona Beach’s hometown HBCU. Anyone interested in contributing to the scholarship fund can donate directly online at https://cookman.scalefunder.com/cfund/proj...
